The built-in levels are only for leveling the base, right? ?They don¡¯t really help with CWD. ?Are there some other levels I haven¡¯t seen?
I will try Michael¡¯s suggestion of leveling the counterweight shaft horizontally and then use the setting circles to rotate 90?.
But as you say, it really is not that critical. ?It¡¯s just that I'm a precise kind of guy.

Hi Bill
The built-in levels are good for that, and I'm not sure using an external level is going to make much of an improvement
The value of an accurate "bubble level" CWD is to improve the accuracy of your first goto . Once you align and start building a model, it's not going to have much impact?past that.??

Guys and Gals,
I believe some folks have said they use a level to achieve an accurate CWD position.? On my G811 there doesn¡¯t seem to be a great place to put a level.? I end up setting it on the worn cover? of the Dec axis worm.? That is not ideal because:
1. It assumes you have accurately rotated the Dec axis to 90?
2. It assumes the worm cover is actually at 90? to the counterweight shaft.
I realize that small errors in CWD are probably not that significant, but I was just wondering is there is a better way to accurately find CWD.
