The only problem that I can see with this set up (which is very nice, by the way) is that if you adjust the table, you will need to re adjust the laser. This doesn't mean your design is bad because that is ALWAYS the case with laser levels.

Also, for another laser guide project: if you were to get your hands on two straight line laser levels (I got two cheap ones for free as part of some magazine offers, I think) you could probably make a more professional version like this one which creates an "X" for lining up the drill head... I'm also guessing that if you were to do that... You could motorize it easily and make it self adjusting!
