Can anyone post a pic of the recommended Machinist Level so I'm sure to purchase the correct one.

Thanks

I have one about like this and it's done a great job. My table mechanic wants to steal it from me but he's too dammed cheap to buy one.
Mine's a little older and in a wood box.

Your looking for a 12" or 18" model 98. Just search ebay for starrett 12" level. Make sure you get one that is in good to new condition. Be prepared to spend at least $65. It will probably be more like $100 unless you buy new.

I use the 98-8 inch, because it allows me to see the dips in the slate much better...instead of bridging them with a longer level. The longer the level..the more it creates a bridge which will not allow you to see the dips in the slate as well. The 98-6 is tooooo short thereby to sensitive to dips and grind marks. I've tried all the starrett levels and finally settled on the 8 inch as the best for me.
