Starrett no. 98Z-12 precision machinist's level w/case
No. 98Z - 12 Inch Precision Machinist's Level In Wood Case, As New
I believe this level has never been used. It is from my father-in-law's estate. It is in as new condition.
The following is from the manufacturer, Starrett.
These levels have ground and graduated
main vials. All sizes have a cross test vial
The 12 (300mm) model also has a plumb
vial and the 18 (450mm) size has a double
These vials are adjustable to a positive
setting and are housed in a satin finished
brass tube with a friction-fit closing cover
The base of the levels features an involute
groove running the length of the base,
which provides a reliable seat for round
work such as pipes or shafting.
With the cross test vial, it is possible to
simultaneously level in both directions. This
prevents inaccuracies in the main vial
reading caused by canting the level
The 6 through 18 (150-450mm) main
level vials have graduations that are
approximately 80-90 seconds or .005 per
foot (0.42mm per meter). There are five,
six, or seven lines on each side of the
bubble, depending on the base length.
Top, No. 98-12; bottom, No. 98-6.
