The Checkpoint Stubby Mag Base is designed to be
kept on the instrument "full-time" highlighting
a strong compact configuration, super strong mag-ratio,
and layout versatility in both US and MM. This super
high performing compact 9" x 1" version uses four
neodymium rare-earth magnets, has Imperial (U.S.)
and metric scales laser engraved for layout aid,
V-groove ends for centering, 1/4-20 tripod tapped
hole for versatility, two counter-bored holes for
permanent mounting on repeatable slide in slide
out applications for all the 600 and 880 series
laser levels. Fully machined and anodized, this
quick handling super strong compact also accommodates
the Slope Pin System to set exact slope and grade
positive or negative.
THE SLOPE PINS attach under either end of the base
as indicated on the base sides and are held in place
by the neodymium magnets centered on the flat side.
They give exact slopes or grades with no calculation
depending on your choice of slope pin size. For
example, simply place a 1/4” slope pin at the front
or rear location of the Stubby or Magnum base, and
the 8-80 will project an exact 1/4” per foot rise
or fall depending on the location of the pin (+
or -). Slope Pins are sold either individually or
in sets of seven pieces, and come in 1/16” increments
(starting with 1/8” slope). Again, each will work
with all new Mag Bases and the 3D DMS series
.
