Re: New Mach 1 setup woes behind me.
You must admit the magnetic level is an interesting idea. As it is the first slew sends the level under the table; the second slew sends the Bahtinov mask under the table.

This might be a little over my head but could you estimate cost in US $.

OK, I've got to check one of them out. Where did you say you got it and what is the make?

Well thank you. You just answered more questions than I thought to ask. I meant the NSEW slew rates. Didn't know or see +/- on the screen of an object. That's very useful. One for when you

There are a number of flavors of stainless steel and some have
enough iron in them to be mildly attracted to magnets.

Definitely not AP parts then since they are stainless for the CW and CW shaft and aluminum for the dovetails and sliding bars. Nor can they be Casady CW's since they too are stainless. Why would you
