Magnum 12 Inch High Precision Machinist Level (770107)
Calibrating the alignment of long lathe beds and milling machine tables requires the extended sensitivity of the Magnum 770107 Machinist Level. This 12" (304.8 mm) precision instrument is designed to span wider gaps, providing a more stable and accurate reading over large surfaces. The precision-ground base ensures maximum contact with the workpiece, while the heavy-duty cast construction minimizes the risk of warping or inaccuracy caused by minor impacts.
Features
- 12" Ground Base - Spans longer distances for increased leveling accuracy on large machinery.
- Integrated V-Groove - Allows for the precise leveling of horizontal shafts and piping.

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.
