From the Manufacturer

Starrett Machinists Levels have ground and graduated main vials and include a cross test vial and single adjustable plumb vial. The base of the levels feature an involute groove running the length of the base which provides a reliable seat for round work. To guarantee extreme accuracy, the length of your level should not be longer than the work you are leveling.

This review is from: Starrett 98Z-12 12-Inch Precision Machinists Level in Finished Wood Case

I have levels. I have torpedo levels, string levels, circular levels, Digital levels, 2 foot solid aluminum, 18" boxed design, laser level, 4 foot, 6 foot box, and more. But now I have a kind of level that I never had before. I have a very sensitive, very accurate, beautifully made instrument of trust! That's right, TRUST. Because before I bought this proud piece of American workmenship I never really knew how far off something was. But that's all changed now because I spent the smartest money ever. I bought a tradition. This thing looks like it was made around 1895. It looks like it should be in a professional laboratory. But it's in my wood shop, where If I try really hard and do things the right way, maybe, just maybe I can make this high quality workhorse as proud of me as I am of it. This level is worth every penny I paid for it and I feel confident it will outlast me by at least another hundred years. Use your best level to try and level something. Now take this instrument and see what level truly means.
