Thanks for that Ted. My original intention was to source some 1/2" UNF threaded rod and replace the bolt to have the whole rig set up ready to go but I like your idea of the 1/2" UNC bolt glued to the unit and then use the cheaper and readily available UNC threaded rod which can be replaced. I found a good little 1mW red laser from Jaycar for $10 but I have to wire up the power source which is easy enough but I want to have a complete unit if possible so will source other off the shelf ones first.
Is there really a preference for green over red laser though? I wouldn't have thought it would make much of a difference.
Here's the link to Ted's original post as well

It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

It's just that the green ones are brighter, but in your application, the red one should be fine.If you ever use a laser guide for deep hollowing there is a big difference.

Two green lasers have been ordered through Ebay Australia. One for the jig and the other to freak the cat out with

Did you see the riots in Egypt on TV with green laser lights being flashed everywhere?
