Hi all,
I'm building a shiny new bench to put my Southbend 9", and hide some of the other crap in the garage.
I am intending to mount the lathe on some levelling screws, as per Chris Heapy's site - large diameter, fine pitch bolts, and some large washers. Probably going to use M10 fine, easiest thing to get hold of.
My question is: how level do I need to get it? I don't have a (working) engineers level, and am reluctant to buy one at =A320 off ebay, if I'm only going to use it once. I have my grandfathers old wooden 'boat' style level.
Should I 'eye' it up on grandad's woodwork level, or bite the bullet & buy the proper thing?
Cheers,
Ed
