Good afternoon all.
Looking for a Starrett 98-12 or similar. If it comes in it's own case, that's a big plus.
I've looked around on ebay but wanted to try here as well.
Trying to level my (new to me) Hercules Ajax 18.
Thanks in advance.

Damn Digger, That's brutal sending him there, but funny.

Hi Moots,
Just my 2¢: I would use a precision level good for .0005" per foot or equivalent metric to level a lathe. Don't be too concerned about brand. With levels you can self calibrate and you're doing comparative measurement anyway to level a lathe.
I was looking for a Starrett 199 and stumbled across a Schultes 15" for $50. It's every bit as good as a used Starret for 1/5 what they were going for at the time. You could use an import one as well successfully. Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Bob
We make a precision level, been selling them mostly to woodworkers to level their sliding table saws, but they are accurate to .001" per foot, not quite as good as a Starrett 199, but about four times more accurate than the Starrett 98. It is 16" long however, so if you can't use the extra length, it's not the one for you.

Still looking. Trying to find something in the “used but reliable” category.
Please let me know what you have available.
Thanks
Shawn
