Hello All,
I'm a beginner with about 30 yrs experience as several types of mechanic including aircraft auto, truck, and now industrial. I have a Steinel SV4B vertical mill, Delta horizontal bandsaw, Craftsman 12" commercial lathe, and a 300 amp TIG welder. Happy to find a forum with a good attitude. I'm doing setup on my lathe and mill which live in my garage. The floor is pitched about 5 degrees so I have to level the machines. Do I need a $200 level to do this? I have construction type levels but I'm not sure they are sensitive enough. Also, should I grout bed the mill?
