Accusize Industrial Tools 8'' Master Precision Level in Fitted Box, Accuracy: 0.0002''/10'', S908-C685

I bought this to set up and level my Mill. Box came completely destroyed, but I glued it back together. I didn’t take a star off for that since most stuff from overseas comes in crappy boxes and holders. It’s the China way. The level itself is very sensitive and looks to be very accurate. Bottom is machined nicely and overall the level is very heavy. It’s expensive for what I used it for but I had to have it.

It is a generic probably Chinese brand. However, it does the job. It is very sensitive even to a paper sheet and takes a couple of hours to calibrate it. The pros: it works great and does the job, relatively easy to calibrate, nice wood case, it comes with a key for calibration. The cons: it needs to be calibrated every single time you need to use it. So overall I'd say you get a good bang for the buck but if you are planning on using it on a daily basis you may want to consider a Mitutoyo which costs about $500. It's your call.

Very accurate! I had a buddy who was a millwright that brought over several starrett machinist’s levels when we were setting up my mill. We went ahead and used his for the set up ...because Starrett...and afterwards he wanted to mess with this one for gits n’ shiggles. It took about 3 minutes before he was saying “Wow, we should have used this!”It’s heavy, fully encapsulated(helps with temperature fluctuations from just touching it) and has nice slow/smooth settling time. The only knock he gave it was the adjustment screw being a Phillips head, so you had to push down on the screw to make adjustments which made it a little difficult. Well worth living with for the price! This is one of those purchases where you are still high-fiving yourself years down the road for making a good decision and saving a bunch of money in the process.

Dont buy if you're a machinist. It's a level that never stays level.CONS: I don't mind having to calibrate the level, but it constantly lost it's precision even if it was moved ever so gently. I believe the adjustment mechanism is not designed to hold tight tolerances. Also, the bottom is not precision ground.PROS: It's the body was a clean cast. It's actually very sensitive which great, but again it can't hold the precision for long.Go with a Starrett level and be done.

This is my first precision level. It seems well made and very accurate. I had to calibrate it. Place it on a surface and then turn it around 180deg and it should give the same reading. It was hard to find a surface flat enough to position it in the exact same position (rotated 180 degs) to calibrate it. I ended up using a piece of granite. To calibrate it remove the round end cap on the end with the two screws (on the top and bottom). It comes with a tool to turn the nut inside.

You could use this as an extremely accurate level, or you could take it to the gym and bench press it. I like it!

Very accurate and sensitive. Maybe too sensitive for some applications. Be prepared to have the level topped out at one end or the other unless whatever you are leveling is very close to start. However used it to dial in a metal lathe and was very happy with the results.

I bought this to help level a three piece slate table. .0002/10 inches is incredibly sensitive. The same size in a brand that rhymes with barrett lists resolution at .005 per 12 inches. If this makes sense to you and you know how to calibrate this, its almost half price of name brand. But im chasing my tail with measurements of these pool table slates. It seems like each time i put the level down, it gets knocked out of calibration. When im done with this job, i will take this level apart to check how the vial is attached and supporter inside. On a machinists forum, i saw a homemade level and in the thread it mentioned that these amazon levels are holding the vials with beads of glue. If this is true, when i open it up, the solution will be to hold the vial with a rubber band.
