Level

[Richard_W]

I had a new washer and dryer delivered to day. While installing the new HE washer it said to level it and how pictures of how they wanted it level. Since I don't do much wood working I had no idea where my level was at. Then I thought I know where there is a level. See photo for details.

So a pipe level is good for something, was .005" per foot accurate enough.

The level App for your iPhone was not able to be located?

Level, schmevel, if it doesn't walk across the floor or disturb your nap, who cares how level it is.

jmho, but I like your solution.

??? That appears to be a Starrett machinists level. And if so, yeah, it's good enough to several extra decimal places.

Starrett #98 with the V on the underside. I understand that millwrights use them to level shafts. I use it to level my machines.

My Mitutoyo master level has a V groove on the bottom, and while you could use it to level shafts, I think it might be a bit overkill for that work. I tried using it to level a new fridge and it was taking way too long. For some jobs a carpenters level can work better. But if you can only find a machinist's level? Well they obviously can still get the job done.

I didn't know there was an app for the iphone.

I am told the HE washer spin at 1200 RPM and that is why the clothes are almost dry to the touch before going into the dryer. I went shopping for a dryer because the one we had was starting to squeak loudly. Anyway one of the guys at work told me about how quiet his HE washer is. So it didn't take to much to get me to spring for both a washer and dryer. This washer is so quiet that the air conditioner makes more noise than it does.

Hi There,

Starrett #98 with the V on the underside. I understand that millwrights use them to level shafts. I use it to level my machines.

I have a couple of those. I have the 98-4 (my first level) and
I picked a 98-12 and had Starrett rebuild it (a long time ago
now). Starrett made an almost identical level; the 97 series.
the only difference was the vial. The 98 series have a graduated
vial calibrated to show a .005" per 12" deviation. The 97 was
the identical level except its vial wasn't calibrated.

Good Luck!
