The Lamb Tool Works Precision Level has been designed to perform numerous tasks,
which include helping to accurately and precisely set up European style sliding table
saws, setting jointer tables, milling machines, lathes, and just about any other piece of
equipment where flatness or level becomes important to the accuracy of the machine.
The LTW level can be used in two ways, one, as shipped it will be set to “level”, so
anything can be checked to be level. But, most machines in woodworking aren’t level to
begin with and don’t have feasible options of being set level. The LTW level is
adjustable so that surfaces can be set coplanar to each other, regardless of whether
the whole machine is “level to the world” or not. This is accomplished by having the vial
attached firmly at one end, while the other side is adjustable and spring-loaded. This
lets you set the vial level on a specific surface and then make any other surface
coplanar within less than .001” per foot (the accuracy per division on the vial) by
comparing readings from surface to surface.
The following pages detail some of the methods of use, and also, how to reset the LTW
level to be “level” if you have used it in the comparison mode. These are just examples
of some of the many uses the LTW level has. It would be impossible to detail all the
uses of this versatile tool.
