What is claimed is: 1. A focusable laser collimator comprising: an optical lens having an optical axis; a sliding lens holder for housing the lens, the sliding lens holder having a smaller diameter at a front and a larger diameter at a back and having a longitudinal opening parallel to the optical axis; a stationary lens holder ring for fitting to the front of the sliding lens holder and having a protruding key for receiving the longitudinal opening; a laser holder tube for holding a laser and having an external thread on an outer circumferential surface; and a focusing ring for receiving the back of the sliding lens holder and having internal thread on an internal circumferential surface, wherein when the focusing ring is rotated, the internal thread of the focusing ring interacts with the external thread of the laser holder tube to move the focusing ring along the optical axis and the protruding key travels within the longitudinal opening while preventing the sliding lens holder from rotating. 2. The focusable laser collimator of claim 1 further comprising a spring placed between the laser holder tube and the sliding lens holder. 3. The focusable laser collimator of claim 1 further comprising a housing having a centered longitudinal axis and pair of alignment keys for shifting x and y positions of the sliding lens holder about the optical axis relative to the centered longitudinal axis of the housing. 4. The focusable laser collimator of claim 1, wherein the protruding key is a screw. 5. The focusable laser collimator of claim 1 further comprising a viewing tube for viewing a projected laser beam of the laser along a viewing axis. 6. The focusable laser collimator of claim 5, wherein the viewing tube comprises a mirror placed in the viewing tube forming an angle with the viewing axis and an eye piece focuser, wherein the mirror includes a hole at its center to allow the laser beam pass through and the mirror reflects a projected image on a surface. 7. A focusable laser collimator comprising: an optical lens having an optical axis; a sliding lens holder for housing the lens having a longitudinal opening parallel to the optical axis; a stationary lens holder ring for fitting to the front of the sliding lens holder and having a protruding key for receiving the longitudinal opening; and a focusing ring movable along the optical axis, wherein the protruding key placed within the longitudinal opening prevents the sliding lens holder from rotating. 8. The focusable laser collimator of claim 7 further comprising a lens housing for holding the lens steady along the optical axis and a plurality of alignment keys for moving the lens in a plane orthogonal to the optical axis. 9. The focusable laser collimator of claim 7, wherein the protruding key is a pin or a screw. 10. The focusable laser collimator of claim 7 further comprising a viewing tube for viewing a projected laser beam of the laser along a viewing axis. 11. The focusable laser collimator of claim 10, wherein the viewing tube comprises a mirror placed in the viewing tube forming an angle with the viewing axis and an eye piece focuser, wherein the mirror includes a hole at its center to allow the laser beam pass through and the mirror reflects a projected image on a surface. 12. The focusable laser collimator of claim 7 further comprising: a laser disk for holding a laser and having a spherical front with a hole for allowing the beam of the laser to pass through; and an alignment holder having a circular alignment opening at a front center, wherein the laser disk is rotatable within the circular alignment opening allowing the laser to pivot and rotate without displacement along the optical axis or in a plane orthogonal to the optical axis. 13. The focusable laser collimator of claim 12 further comprising an alignment screw for pivotally rotating the spherical front of the laser disk within the circular alignment opening. 14. The focusable laser collimator of claim 12 further comprising an alignment spring placed against a back of the laser disk.
