Jon, Starrett makes them but I would hardly call them precision. Brown&Sharpe used to make a nice leveling fixture. It was a table that was approx. 6" sq. and had leveling screws. I searched the net but I can't seem to find an example, maybe they no longer make them.

Steve,

Something like this would work very well for what I need but they won't support the weight like the Mitutoyo Precision Jacks will.

I don't even need the micrometer scale but I do need .0001 adjustability.

No further comment, Steve?

Jon, I liked those screws that you linked to. I would think they would work well if you decided to make some precision jack screws.

Best, Steve

I think they would work very well but they won't hold enough weight for what I have in mind. At this point I see very little option except to spend huge money ($300 each) for three Mitutoyo Series 7 Micro Jacks (7850)
