So, I'm a little confused. Does it have a 0 setting to start from, in case your mill vise isn't level?
EDIT: Never mind. I answered my own question, and ordered one!

Mine does, you can zero anywhere and start from there. Or it will auto level

My Iphone has an app for one. Displays to .1 of a degree as well.

Believe me, I'm worse than a toolaholic. If you saw my wood shop, you'd agree. At least there, I can blame it on "I need if for my business." With the metalwork, I don't even have that excuse!

I've looked at a number of those, but I didn't see one that lets you zero it out to a surface. They only measure absolutes. Have you found one that zeros?

Its called iHandy Level. Has a calibrate button on it that zero's it out, the sensitivity is also adjustable.
