Thinking about this some more I think the kelton laser might work. At least the cutters should fit into the rig but would the rig permit an angle for hollowing.
However, my lathe has a headstock that will pivot.
All I need is the time to try it between other projects

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is described on Kevin Neely's website, "Kevin's Woodturnings. Go to "Segmented turning," and then "Laser wall thickness gauge." He shows it on a hollowing tool. My application requires that you modify the attachment to make it fit the hollowing tool handle. The way it works: the arm is made from a flexible plastic ball-and-socket oil line, that is commonly used to deliver cooling oil on machine tools. It is set up so that the laser points to the tip of the coring blade, so that while you are parting out a bowl blank, you can see, on the outside of the spinning wood, exactly where the tip is, in relation to the bottom, and how close you are to finishing the cut.
There is a point where it is smart to stop and break out the cored blank. If you stop too soon, this will be difficult.
