Whether or not something is a good deal or not is usually a matter of perception. This is what I would use if any degree of accuracy is desiredI want to get a straight edge bar for ensuring my jointer tables remain co-planar and all the other uses we use one for. I only need it to be 36" or so - anyone know of any good deals to point me to?
I use a 48" alumium level with machined surfaces. It doesn't fall over because it's wide enough to stand on it's own. You can go to the Home Depot and compare them by holding 2 together and look for any light in between them. When you find a pair that show no light, flip one end for end and if there is still no light, it's probably fairly straight.I want to get a straight edge bar for ensuring my jointer tables remain co-planar and all the other uses we use one for.
