Lasers on routers
I have seen lasers on some pretty ridiculous tools (jigsaws
) but I would really like to see a crosshair laser on a router to help with identifying the centrepoint. Or, maybe a bit like a forstner with a spur in the centre

There are several suppliers (PWS among them) offering a "centring pin". The one from PWS is double-ended, for half-inch or quarter-inch collets. It can also be used for centring a drill press if (like me) you have one that's sometimes removed from its shaft so needs regular resetting.

I have a centring pin, for a quick position, lock and plunge a laser would be handy. That is about the limit of it though.

You can indeed get your very own cross-hair laser router base:
