Sparky: Not sure if you've seen this. Evan describes using a cheap laser level (capable of generating a horizontal line) and a tripod to mount it on to get an estimate of the flatness of a surface: http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/threads/18917-Qualitative-flatness-testing-cheap-%28pics%29 John. |

There is pretty good way, if you have time and good level. I have some proof that there is method for one spirit level and for two....Any solid information? Procedure is somewhat like this: http://www.mate.tue.nl/mate/pdfs/1698.pdf There must be somewhere a punch list instruction, but this should give a good foundation on theory. Pekka |

Hi Sparky --- Quote ---Would 3-point contact of the height gauge base be of more benefit than the flat base that can rock a bit on imperfections? --- End quote --- Use three ball bearings to stand your indicator base on. If necessary a touch of super glue will hold them in place. |

Thanks for the new info and tips. I'll give an update once I've made some progress. |
