Adjustable and reliable leveling for round work Key benefits - Quick and precise adjustment: The vial can be set to a positive position by turning the knurled knob on the side, enabling fast leveling tasks with minimal effort. - Durable, quality construction: Cast iron base provides a sturdy, long lasting foundation. The reference surface is precision machined for consistent performance. - Accurate two axis checking: The cross test vial allows simultaneous leveling in both directions, eliminating errors caused by canting the level on curved work and improving main vial readings. - Ergonomic seating for round work: An involute groove between the bearing flats guides the level to sit securely on round surfaces. The groove design improves centering and increases the capacity to handle larger rounds. What makes it stand out - Satin finished brass vial tube with a friction fit closing cover protects the vial from breakage while keeping dust out, contributing to durability in busy shop environments. - The combination of a robust cast iron base, a precision reference surface, and the cross test vial delivers dependable, repeatable results for challenging round work. - Designed specifically to seat accurately on curved or cylindrical components, thanks to the involute groove and its special design for better centering and larger round applications. Specifications and features - Adjustable positive setting: The knurled side knob allows easy adjustment for quick leveling tasks. - Base construction: Cast iron, precision machined reference surface for durability and accuracy. - Vial housing: Satin finished brass tube with a friction fit closing cover to prevent breakage. - Leveling accuracy: Cross test vial enables simultaneous leveling in both directions, reducing reading errors on round work. - Ergonomics and seating: Involute groove between bearing flats for accurate seating on round work; special involute design enhances centering and supports larger rounds. Applications and use scenarios - Machining and fabricating round components: Use the cross test vial to level a chuck, fixture, or bearing race on a lathe or milling setup, ensuring true alignment in both axes while handling cylindrical parts. - Pipe, tube, and cylindrical assembly: Install or align piping, tubing, or cylindrical assemblies where a true level is needed across curved surfaces, with secure seating provided by the involute groove. - Fixture and jig setup on round bases: Level fixtures or jigs mounted on round bases to ensure consistent machining tolerances, aided by the precise reference surface and durable base. This product provides a dependable solution for fast, accurate leveling on round work, combining robust materials, precise machining, and thoughtful features to improve alignment and reduce setup time in metalworking and related applications.
