Nice looking level Stuart. Great addition to the toolbox even if not used regularly. Bill
The precise measurement doesn't matter so much - basically the gauge needs to read the same each end of the bed. Again - being "level" isn't what's important here - being flat is. I'm not about to take the time to get the bubble in the middle of the gauge at each end, I'm just going to match the tailstock end (picture 2) to the headstock end (picture 1).

You want the same reading, whatever it is, at both ends. I was just curious to know how much twist those readings meant.As I said before, you're my guinea pig so I can learn to improve my own machine's accuracy. No pressure.
That looks pretty good to me! Nice addition on the little sander too. That should be handy for lots of things.Bill
Stuart, it looks like the bubble in the level is sitting at maximum travel. It may not be indicating level. The bubble needs to be within the red lines to be reading true. You can shim the level on one side to bring the bubble into range. Just make sure the shim is placed at the same point on the level on each reading. Dave.
