??? ??? I'm pretty simple If I need to borrow something more than
once I look into buying it .If I haven't had to borrow one in the
last 5 years I don't need one . I hope ya had something in mind
when you bought that straight edge ? My surface plate is only a 9
x 12 , so far I've been ok

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

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 .
