A Starrett precision level is really no different than any other bubble type level it is just made with far more precision and so can give far more "precise" results.

If you are using the Master Precision level you need to be careful not to hold onto the level too long, it is precise enough the heat from your hand can effect the measurement.

A typical bubble level may have two or four lines on the vial and you just center the bubble so you are actually looking for the location of the ends of the bubble relative to the line(s).

The Starrett precision level, Models # 98, has one major line and 6 lesser lines that are accurately marked on the each end of the vial.

This level is adjustable and Starrett suggests any very flat surface be used and a "reading" taken with the level oriented in one direction and then turning the level so the ends reverse position yet the level stays in the same spot on the flat surface, another "reading" is then taking, the two are compared and adjustments can then be made.

Most levels are not adjustable and even fewer have spare parts available, it is possible to order a replacement vial for the Starrett precision level and if used as intended this quality of level can easily be passed from generation to generation.
