How long is that? Can't tell from pic. Some info: https://www.google.com/search?q=bes...CHXUQrQIoAnoECBgQAw&biw=1408&bih=653&dpr=1.36
It is a short Bubble Level, most Pool table service use 3 foot plus commercial levels, with Bubbles at both ends.
Kinda looks like a 10" but might be a 8
Most installers on here recommend a machinist level as it's more accurate than a commercial level
A lot more.
Anything under $100 is a great buy. That's a 98-12 and they're around $300 new, $200 used. Sometimes you can find them cheaper.
The wood case is a nice bonus too.
This is a great buy and wont last long: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2269844689...d=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1
12" is good, 8" is also very good, especially for Diamond tables.

No they don't. Not for final leveling, anyhow.
The 98-12 I linked is sold, here's an 8 that will also sell fast!

I've found used 12" one's around $100, best to get one with multiple bubble lines.
I also came across an 18" for $200 at an antique mall.
I've also found one with a broken bubble real cheap and replaced it, total cost under $100
I prefer 12" or longer over my 8" ones, but having a couple positioned on the slate is easier than moving one around.

If I am welding a tube in a chassis that is parallel with another tube I can eyeball it better than a standard level can measure it. When using a standard level (digital or bubble) I can have both tubes positioned correctly according to a level yet they are clearly not parallel when eyeballing it.
