Speakin of Machinist levels

mike allen Member Profile All Messages By This Member #115826 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 . animal

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 toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sun, Jul 16, 2023 at 4:05?PM Bill Williams via <BWMSBLDR1=[email protected]> wrote: Be careful animal, On Sun, Jul 16, 2023 at 3:52?PM mike allen <animal@...> wrote: eventually the lathe leveling conversation leads to machinist levels .

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 animal On 7/16/23 3:11 PM, Bill Williams wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Be careful Animal, this can lead you into unforeseen?situations!
