Description
The 42EF LaserSight RightSight models use a Class 1 visible laser light and features
the same mounting options as the rest of the industry proven RightSight product line.
Class 1 lasers require no additional safety or protective training or equipment and are
safe for general purpose use.
The multiple mounting options (threaded 18 mm nose and base mount or through-hole)
allows for superior application flexibility in the most demanding industrial environments.
