Hi all: I too have one of the RNIB ball-bearing type of levels. Likewise, the ball has made a bid for freedom from time to time but has returned. The track also has occasionally acquired the odd little burr, but has been milled out by a friend with metal shop facilities. The audible one which I have was also bought from the RNIB, although it is about 2 feet long and should therefore give greater accuracy, the connections in the bubble are a little suspect.
The best one which I have is a piece of aluminium U with a vertical stop at each end, onto which I place a ball bearing - this is about 4 feet long and useful for levelling battons for lean-to roves, kitchen and workshop benches etc. BTW: I have a wood working workshop with large lathe, pillar drills, thicknessing planer, large and small band saws, planer, circular saw - and more electric equipment, and masses of hand tools - mainly old and inherited or bought at boot sales.

I have the level and although it gets very little use it works great for me. It has a low pitch and a high pitch and when level no sound. When I leveled the washer and dryer it was fantastic. I just set it on the top and toyed with the leveling feet until no sound. I don't remember from where it was purchased. I have had it for several years. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Leavens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 4:57 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Re: audible level No, He is talking about an audible spirit level. I have never had one so don't have anything to say about them. I do have a ball bearing on a track I bought from the RNIB way back in about 1971 for seven or eight quid which has served me well and proved to be remarkably robust even over significant falls. I worry I'll loose the bearing and it has taken a few independent trips but always seems to find it's way back.

I set mine to what suits me, not others. So I don't have a glue as to what you mean. Is it a piece of equipment called audible level you hook up to your computer or what? Input level? Output level? ...................................bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the Blind Computing list, then visit the following address for more information: http://jaws-users.com/mailman/listinfo/blind-computing_jaws-users.com For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
