Be careful Animal, this can lead you into unforeseen?situations! I ended up buying measuring tools to the point that I now own a 4 foot granite?straightedge that I can barely carry. And strangely enough no one? seems to want to know how straight their lathe bed is!? ?Bill in Boulder

eventually the lathe leveling conversation leads to machinist levels .
Having more than one level can certainly speed things up . If you have
any pawn shops in your area they can be a good source for levels & other
machinist tools for real good prices .
I picked up a 6" Starrett level for $ 40.00 a few months back . Got a
Mit 0-1 digital mic for $25.00 & a Best Test indicator for another 25 &
a SPI vertical reading test indicator for another 20 . It's hit or miss
, but if I'm in the big city & drive by a pawn shop I usually head in &
see what they got .
