Simple answer: the levels in the combo squares aren't worth the dynamite to
blow them over a squatting flea. They're crappy when new and the first knock

Right. If you want to level a machine, use the proper device, a
precision machinist's level such as this Starrett:

Note the wider, shallower vial.

if you think you're anal about machinery setup, don't get one of
these. it'll show you the difference of how level your table saw top
is when your next door neighbor sneezes.
