Origin Laser Tool Cornerstone Classic Laser Reference Level - Tim Litvin
Following three years of intensive product development, Origin Laser Tools was founded in 2010 as a mom and pop laser shop for the purpose of building exceptionally fine laser tools. If you call or write, it will probably be me responding, and I'll be happy to take a little break to talk with you.

Sorry about the excruciating waiting period to get your order: we'll work to reduce that. The reality is that we're a small, brand new company, trying to do something extraordinary and without a lot of money, so we have to grow carefully. We build these tools per order, in small batches. Building them is the fun part: there's also a mind-numbing amount of organizational activity going on behind the scenes, setting the stage for the very pleasant task of building and calibrating your personal laser.
Origin Laser Tool Cornerstone Classic Laser Reference Level - Tim Litvin

Our laser's mechanical parts are CNC-milled by a local machine shop, a local circuit board manufacturer fabricates and assembles our custom electronics... even the hand-checkered wooden grips are the product of a local craftsman. Almost every other component is also made in the United States. The components are finally assembled, by hand, here in Santa Cruz. Every one of our lasers comes with a personal, signed guarantee, a direct promise that your tool was built and calibrated to the highest standards. I hope that your Origin laser will become your favorite tool, one that you rely on, one that helps you to do better quality work more efficiently.

Our laser tools are an investment, made by craftsmen, for craftsmen. We hope they'll become a tool that you'll look forward to using, every day.

The following is a reply from Origin Laser Tools to our question – "Are your products Made in America?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
