Spirit level capable of reading 0.0005"/ft

Rocking Test
After the machine frame has been leveled the use of the following G-code is necessary to determine that the machine frame
is properly leveled and balanced.
Should the machine frame vibrate or move excessively during the rocking test the machine frame must be re-leveled using
the procedure in this manual.
Should the proper leveling technique not eliminate the excessive frame motion, consideration must be given to relocation of
the machine or replacement of the existing floor with an adequate foundation.
