Swiss anything is good right??
Although, I don't see any Swiss restaurants in this part of the country.

All I have is a Starrett 98-12. It helped me set up my lathe and it's producing good work. Maybe I got lucky?
Achipo used it on the Graz.
He has one of those Shars style levels also.
I wonder how far off the Starrett was?
 
One of our guys with more math (Rex?) than I tried to do in my head only should be able to figure out exactly how sensitive the Swedish level is; I do not know anything about the Shars level, but do know that the Starrett #98 is only good enough for rough preliminary leveling of a lathe in preparation for the final leveling/alignment.

If it was Swiss it would be good,,,,,,,,
 
We used to have a Swiss bakery here and it was definitely good!

How did we jump from Swedish to Swiss ??????
 
Hmm...

0.1 mm/m * 1in/25.4mm = 0.003937 in/m. So about 0.004" deviation a meter away will move the bubble one graduation.

There are roughly 3.28 ft per meter, so

0.003937 in/m / 3.28 ft/m = 0.0012" per foot.

About 0.001" per foot as John said initially.
 
Thanks guys. I'll pass on those I think.
