The Beall Tool Co. Inclinometer  The Beall Tool Co. is still in business and now offers a digital version of this table saw set-up inclinometer tool. To use, the bar is magnetized and would be affixed to your saw blade.  You would then read the blade angle or tilt where the brass plumb bob like pendulum met the gauge below.  I could find no reference to this earlier version inclinometer they offered anywhere on the internet.  Like new in original box.  Every level / inclinometer collection needs one!  Or use it for the purpose it was designed to do if you do not like digital and batteries in the shop.
