Value Collection MSC-06530273 Inspection Block Level

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-06530273 is a cast iron inspection block precision level designed for demanding surface and machine tool alignment work. It measures 8 inches in length and 1-7/8 inches in width, with a graduation sensitivity of 0.0005 inches per 10 inches. Two vials provide readings in multiple orientations without repositioning the tool. Base flatness is held to 0.0004 inches, making it suitable for precise leveling checks on machine beds, surface plates, and inspection fixtures. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and metrology technicians typically use this class of level in production and quality control environments.

This inspection block level is used on surface plates, milling machine tables, lathe beds, and precision grinding equipment where flatness and levelness must be verified to tight tolerances. It is suited to both job-shop and production metrology settings. The cast iron base resists wear and provides thermal stability during measurement. Applications include machine installation, realignment after maintenance, and incoming inspection of flat reference surfaces.

Key Features

• 0.0005 inch graduation sensitivity per 10 inches for high-resolution leveling
• Base flatness of 0.0004 inches for reliable contact with precision reference surfaces
• Cast iron construction for durability and thermal stability
• Two vials allow simultaneous or multi-axis readings
• 8 inch length suits standard machine tool and surface plate applications
• Compact 1-7/8 inch width fits into tight inspection setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose inspection block precision level compatible with standard surface plates, machine tool beds, and flat reference fixtures where a sensitivity of 0.0005 inches per 10 inches is required.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or metrology technician familiar with precision leveling procedures. The reference surface must be clean and free of debris before placing the level to ensure accurate vial readings. Avoid dropping or impacting the cast iron base, as this can alter base flatness and vial calibration. Periodic calibration verification against a known reference surface is recommended to maintain measurement accuracy.
