An adjustable fit laser-projecting tool used to project a light beam outward from the end of any cylindrical object for reference to the object's centerline axis or reference to points parallel to the centerline axis some distance away from the cylindrical object. The tool is comprised of a clamping means utilizing the outer surface of the cylindrical object as the contact surface. The tool contacts the outer surface of a cylindrical object as to orient the tool to the centerline of the cylindrical object. A laser diode module is mounted on a sliding centering scale, allowing the laser diode module to be moved to the centerline of the cylindrical object or another desired position parallel to the centerline axis of the cylindrical object.

1. An adjustable fit laser-projecting reference tool comprising:a light beam means connected to a self-contained power source through an electrical circuit whereby said electrical circuit can be operated to closed or open said electrical circuit; and,a mounting means whereby said mounting means functions to attach said light beam means to any diameter of a cylindrical object; and,said mounting means functions to dispose said light beam means to project a light beam perpendicular to said cylindrical object's cross sectional plane within the outer diameter of said cylindrical object parallel to and including the longitudinal centerline axis of said cylindrical object; and,said mounting means functions to attach said light beam means to said cylindrical object and disposes said light beam means perpendicular to said cylindrical object's cross sectional plane within the outer diameter of said cylindrical object parallel to and including the longitudinal center axis of said cylindrical object; and,said mounting means disposes a top v-block and a bottom v-block to the outer surface of said cylindrical object wherein said top v-block and said bottom v-block are self-aligning so that said top v-block can be moved in a sliding fashion with respect to said bottom v-block by v-block guide rods disposed to maintain self parallel alignment between said top v-block and said bottom v-block; and,said top v-block and said bottom v-block surrounds said cylindrical object and sandwiches said cylindrical object urging said cylindrical object's centerline to the same plane as the centerline of said top v-block and said bottom v-block; and,said top v-block and said bottom v-block include a guide track for a slide scale assembly so that said slide scale assembly can be slidably disposed between said top v-block and said bottom v-block perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline of said cylindrical object when the adjustable fit laser-projecting reference tool is attached to said cylindrical object; and,a slide scale bracket to position said slide scale assembly as required by the user with said slide scale bracket being removable allowing said slide scale assembly to be interchangeable; and,said guide track allows said slide scale assembly to slide in a manner in which said slide scale assembly's center point has the ability to pass through the projected longitudinal centerline of said cylindrical object; and,a v-block clamping rod is held fixed to said bottom v-block and is allowed to slide through said top v-block with a clamping rod nut engaged on said v-block clamping rod disposed to urge said top v-block slidably towards said bottom v-block when said clamping rod nut is turned clockwise on said v-block clamping rod. 2. The adjustable fit laser-projecting reference tool of claim 1 wherein said self-contained power source through said electrical circuit which can be operated to closed or open said electrical circuit and an electrical circuit power source plug can be disconnected from said light beam means in order to configure said adjustable fit laser-projecting tool with a multitude of light beams means. 3. The adjustable fit laser-projecting reference tool of claim 1 wherein said mounting means functions to dispose said light beam means to project said light beam means perpendicular to said cylindrical object's cross sectional plane within the outer diameter of said cylindrical object parallel to and including the longitudinal center axis of said cylindrical object; and,said mounting means includes said light beam means and a centering scale wherein increments start at the center and continue outward to opposing ends, and,said mounting means consists of a slide scale assembly wherein said slide scale assembly slidably joins said top v-block and said bottom v-block by a guide track whereby said slide scale assembly intersects said center axis of said cylindrical object; and,a laser diode module adjustment cylinder to be calibrated to project said light beam from the center of said laser diode module adjustment cylinder and perpendicular to said cylindrical object's cross sectional surface when said adjustable fit laser-projecting reference tool is attached to said cylindrical object.
