It can only be as accurate as the sensor at the sliding "arm" (sorry, I
don't know the appropriate term). I momentarily considered this as a
substitute for a magnetic level+bevel, but what I said above makes me
hesitate. Perhaps someone can vouch for the technology being used? The
issue is mainly academic for me, but it's not uninteresting.


Sorry to reply to my own post: What is given up in accuracy besides the
"arm" is loose enough to slide? Until I here more, it's going to say
in my "gimmick" category. : )
