Designed for professional machinists, it combines rugged construction with fine accuracy, backed by Starrett’s century-plus legacy in precision tools. ## Description The Starrett 98-6 precision machinists’ level is 6 inches long and has a graduation (also called sensitivity) of 0.42 mm/m, or 80-90 seconds. The level has two vials to provide accurate results. The main vial is ground and graduated with five lines and adjustable to a positive setting. A second cross-test vial allows measurements from two directions at once. An involute groove runs the entire length of the level base, and provides a reliable seat for round work, such as leveling pipes or shafting. The base is made of machined cast iron for increased durability, and the glass vial is housed in a brass tube with a friction-fit closing to prevent breakage. H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back. Levels are instruments that are used to determine the true horizontal or vertical plane of a surface. The most common type of level is the spirit level, or bubble level. Spirit levels have a liquid-filled, bowed tube (also called a vial) with a bubble that moves when slight adjustments are made to the level. When the bubble settles between marked points on the vial, it indicates that a surface is horizontally or vertically straight. Levels can have one or more vials to determine the horizontal plane, the vertical plane, or various points between, such as a 45-degree angle, simultaneously. Some levels include a laser line indicator that projects a horizontal or vertical beam on a surface. Bullseye levels, or surface levels, are circular, flat-bottomed spirit levels that determine whether a surface plane is level. Machinists’ levels are made of metal and have surfaces designed specifically for rugged use in a machine shop or tool room. Levels can range from highly-complex and accurate machines, such as those used in the surveying and construction industry, to precision instruments used in carpentry and other building trades, to simple, pocket-sized devices for do-it-yourself projects. The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology, and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company was founded in 1880 and is headquartered in Athol, MA.

It is cardboard and relatively well made. The lid slips entirely over the lower part of the box. The lid is colored red and says Starett a lot. **Q: Does this level come with certs from starret?** A: Depends on what you mean by "certs". There is a card that says "A bubble movement of 1 division (1/10") on main vial indicates an elevation of .005" per foot." The accuracy of this number is not specified - could be .004" or .006", no way to know. However, it is definitely very sensitive - more than is useful for most purposes. There is a screw to adjust the vial so that it is level - turn the assembly around on a flat and "level" surface, and the indication should be the same in both directions, or adjust the screw so that it is the same, and then it will be accurately reading the tilt of the surface. **Q: can i get a replacement bubble cylinder for the primary bubble** A: There are 2 options that we have for replacing the bubble cylinder's. 1 option is replacing the vial w/ solution only but you must know how to install it properly or option 2 would be to purchase the tube and plug vial that is already set properly inside the silver casing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ muy buen nivel *by P***O on 21 April 2024* un buen nivel de la marca starret vino bien empaquetado y en buenas condiciones ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hög precision - det märks *by M***S on 23 May 2024* Fungerade perfekt för att ställa in min svarv så att den numera svarvar långa stycken med diametern inom acceptabel tolerans. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottimo strumento con il quale mettere a bolla apparecchiatura sensibile a 0.02 . *by P***. on 2 November 2021* Ottima livella di elevata manifattura sensibilissima un vero strumento di misura per mettere a bolla apparecchiature professionali dove e richiesta una vera precisione.
