Who has the best deal on a precision level?

Not to bust your bubble but it is a whole lot more fun leveling a lathe
using two levels.
One will work, just takes a lot longer. Just out of curiousity, what state
do you live,
just in case you are like really close to where I live?

I have wondered about this - reluctant to spent heaps on a tool I
would use but infrewuently. Any other method that can be done with
handy household appliances?

I bought a little digital one at Bunnings a month or two ago for A$ 35.00.
It resolves to .1 degree, but I don't know how accurate it is, but its
better than any of the options I had at the time

I made my own level by mounting the level vial from a surveyors
transit telescope to a "T" section about 8" long after grindinng the
base flat. I don't know the accuracy, but it does the job for me.
