He is using a spirit level Dusty, not a digital 'level' that can be arbitrarily 'zeroed'.
I missed his later post that indicated tubes were dead level.
Somewhere 3/4 bubble got changed to 1/2 bubble. So if earlier bubble/degree correlation is correct the 1/2 bubble is 'typical'.

Re: vertical trueness
It sure has and for no practical, alignment or any other reason. As long as the way tubes point to the ceiling and the quill is square to the table nothing else matters. It will drill holes just fine.JPG wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 8:40 pm He is using a spirit level Dusty, not a digital 'level' that can be arbitrarily 'zeroed'.

Re: vertical trueness
Only issue may be if additional support surfaces are used. BUT a small angle would likely be masked by workpiece deflection(bending).

Re: vertical trueness
