Machine Feet for my lathe

[cncJim]

Dang - I'm fresh out of 1 micron drills!

Use something smaller then and ream it to size ! Make sure you centre punch it first

Lol! Nice replies!

Ok so I now have the cabinets drilled, tapped and have 4 adjustable feet on each! First time tapping anything so well pleased with the result!

Next step is to get the lathe on the cabinets.

Not sure what to do about the levelling part.... I would like to make sure the bed is accurately levelled but how accurate do I really need?

So there is this cheep and cheerful level:-
DIGITAL LEVEL BOX ANGLE SENSOR
ACCURACY: 1.75mm/m 3.5mm/m (O.1°/ OTHER O.2°)
£14.95

And I found this "proper" level:-
300MM Precision Engineers Level
Accuracy 0.02mm/m (0.001°?)
£89.50

Obviously the more expensive one seems is better in terms of accuracy (by my calculations....) but will it really be worth it? Or will the cheaper level be good enough?

Cheers,

Jim
