<<For fine leveling though, well lets say that I have my own negative thoughts. A little off from plumb and the whole thing gives tilted results.>> Greetings, I haven't found this to be much of a problem. If the strate-mate is lifting the strings .125"-.150", the final alteration of the string height is about .025"-.050" at most. If the tool is out of plumb by .020", the out of plumb resulting at the string height is hard to measure. That said, I don't use the tool for mating hammers to strings, just to save work as I take out the majority of the curvature as it leaves the agraffe or capo. For final leveling, the individual treatment of the strings is really the only way to go. Regards, Ed Foote RPT
