I like the addition of the level.

Joules:
Finally, some workshop time.   Here's proof the level works...  No pip

Joules:
Just setting up to do some threading and hadn’t got my threading tool in a holder.   Didn’t want to disturb the work in the chuck, so set the tool setter in the tail stock and dialled in the holder in about 30 seconds.  Now to earn todays crust.   :headbang:

Hi Joules,
 I passed on your files to my friend and he kindly printed 3 units for me. I assembled the tool setter with the shaft protruding on both sides, to be able to mount it in the spindle or the tailstock. The first time used it, I calibrated it in my spindle and then check it in the tailstock , to my surprise the bubble was off. I had to put a .020" shim on top of my tool bit to get it to level again. My tailstock is adjustable left and right but not up and down ;( at some point I will put a shim in between the base and the top part of the tailstock.  The good news is when I tested the tool setter in my lathe at work it worked perfectly, cutting on center and leveled in the spindle and the tailstock Thanks for posting and sharing the files to build the tool setter.   
Cheers!
Phil
