Precision Level Build

That is 5 thousands per foot. Did I mess up my engraving?

No, that’s correct. Just thinking when I leveled the Takisawa I used a 0.0005”/ft level, and helped a friend do the same with a 0.0002”/10” level…that was almost too sensitive.

Yeah, those are available, and are a bit of overkill IMO for a home-shop. I tried for a while and spent my day life tail-chasing just to get it calibrated. Simply breathing near it messed it up.

Wow that is. I do have a level that will do that. I really have no need for that with my shop equipment. This one will do what I need for sure.

Almost too sensitive?? I'd commit Chinese seppuku if I had to level anything with that kind of sensitivity!

What an outstanding project. Well done, beautiful and practical. What is not to like!

I am very pleased with this project. I even got to try my hand at some simple wood working. Very practical tool.

It's too nice too use, just put it in a display case.
Great job
