The 199 is a high dollar level, you did good. I have been looking for one of those for a while and almost never see them under 300.


To calibrate them find a flat surface and turn them end for end in the same spot and adjust till the reading is the same each way. That is the spec's from Starrett. For everyone's information the bottom of these levels is ever so slightly concave from the factory so all 4 corners must be on the surface of you will get a false reading.
