Before and after with my Davis Level &  Tool Co. 24" inclinometer.

Wow, that’s sexy Mos!
I've wanted one for a while, finally found the right one.  I'm trying to resist the urge to also pick up an 18", 12", and 6" 😂

Very cool, we look forward to seeing all 4 together 😂
Don't fight it.  Just let it happen.

I've been working a deal to get a 12" inclinometer, so I'm close to 1/3 of the way to the rest :D

Looks great!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Wow that looks amazing 
You got me to do some research Mos.  But try as I could, I couldn't find a good pic or any information on how the bubble is used on those Davis inclinometers.  Just curious if it's a typical two marks and you center the bubble between them or if it's graduated like machinists levels?
 

After some Ebay shopping, I think they're out of my price range but I was still curious about the precision of them.
My sample size is only 1, but the one I have does not have any graduations.  The bubble is not a whole lot bigger than the "window" on the side, though, You're also manually setting the bubble level to a degree based off a 1/32" wide pointer on a 2" dial, so anything beyond "close enough" is probably outside the scope of that tools usefulness anyway, I would imagine.  

I'll check my 12" vial, once it gets here 😉

Not really a before and after, but it's a thing now lol. Haven't touched the 12" inclinometer yet, but it's in great shape already. Might see what it looks like with just some cleaning and go from there.

I'll have to remember to check the vial, after reading the above again.

Also working on an EH Sheldon bench stop. Came with a bench and another continuous screw vise, but it's the main thing I wanted in that deal lol.  If anyone has any EH Sheldon vises, bench stops, bench dogs, or other bench accessories they're willing to part with I'm all ears. Especially the swivel or hidden tail vises.

Them are some horny inclinometers reproducing at that rate!
Damn, quick, separate them. Don't leave them on top of each other 😮
I think they are cute! Let 'em at it, you need a nice 4".
🤣

Haha I know someone that had a broken 6" that they turned in to a torpedo version lol

It took almost 2 months for the deal to finalize on the 12" that I got earlier this week, and then a regular at my regional MWTCA meet this morning had the 18" and 6" that we made a deal on, so... On to the next thing, cleaning them all lol
