Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I calibrate this machinist level? A: Use the built-in adjustment screw while referencing a known flat surface plate, turning it 180 degrees to verify the bubble centers in both directions.
Q: What is the V-groove base used for? A: The V-groove allows the level to self-center on cylindrical objects like drive shafts or pipes to ensure they are perfectly horizontal.
