Will this level cast an accurate line if it sits on an uneven tile surface such as slate?

This is not a level, it cast a 90 degree and 45 degree red laser line for laying out tile or other materials that need to be installed square. I also use it to see how square or out of square a room is. You can mount this laser and level the line but it is not a self leveling laser.

I dont think so, it come with a metal base that the magnetized base can sit on

If the surface isn't level, no laser level will be capable of casting an accurate line. I would clean up one corner and let it be the starting point.

Yes. What you need is a self leveling level. The only issue you will have is that most line levels only come with one line that self levels. As for this GTL3 projects 3 lines (assuming that the base is leveled you will have straight lines) if it sits on an uneven surface it will be off by small degrees. What I would do is lay your first slate. If it is perfectly level, all your other product will be TRUE... So to summarize this answer. Yes. Only if your first slate is level or where you put it is leveled.

Thank you for your question. The GTL3 is going to project two straight lines on the floor if the slate if uneven the lines will still be straight but if the floor rises in the middle of the floor it will block the laser lines.

Yes, the weight changes when I move it. I also have uneven linoleum on certain parts of my floor though. My replacement scale has been fairly accurate on level ground. Weight only fluctuates up or down by no more than a quarter pound. So... My replacement scale is semi-accurate on a hard even surface. I can live with very small weight variations.

I have experienced this in the past - one (or both, to different degrees) of the surfaces is flexing under the scale. because the scale is digital, it depends on the constant of the resistance of the floor surface to produce the result you see. I have my scale on a poured, stained concrete floor so I have no resistance whatsoever. Do you have a similar area where you can place the unit? That would provide the ideal surface, then continue to use that surface for your ongoing measurements. The other choice is to choose one surface - the hardwood would be my choice - and stick with that. Consistency over time is key.

Yes. It will work on your slate without losing color or darkening the tile. I wish I could attach photos to show the difference on my slate before and after using this. The difference is remarkable.

yes it has off low and high the directions will tell you what the distance each level has

Yes, but it does not lock to specific angles, so if you are particularly picky then make sure you have a level or something.

Have not used it on much uneven ground it will function on unlevel ground ok by just turning the legs to fit terrain. seems to function as well as the more costly ones.

Yes...it is not spring loaded...just a slider. Once you get the depth set you just gently turn the indicator and read the line corresponding to the correct depth.

Not sure what you mean by uneven. My flour tiles are a bit textured with deep grout and it works wonderfully.

Yes I've noticed that, my house is a bit tilted due to the foundation. Being fairly cheap it doesn't have an internal level so it displays weight based up the downward force with the decline. A flat level ground will give an accurate reading.

I used this tool for concrete counter top, the counter top was already flat because it was cast in a melamine form, and these disk will polish that surface perfectly. These disks are only 5 inch diameter so they wont grind down uneven spots in 200 sf of brick tile. A 7 inch concrete wheel may do this but I doubt it would help with unevenness. Probably a commercial style floor grinder is what would be needed.

It really would get dimpled and pressed in in spots, especially with weight of any kind on it. I purchased it to cut out shutters for a play set and even in my simple cutting it out with an exacto knife, it got bent in the middle and would dimple if i pressed my finger on it. If it were flat against a hard surface on the floor, it would be the thickness of a piece of cardboard box. Hope this helps.

No. It is too thin and the grout lines will show. If you want to fill them in so you have a smooth flush surface, it will work then.

No, the floor does not have to be level according to the gift recipient. One simply zeros out the Wixey while on the table saw and subsequent measurements are relative to the plane of the table.

It should work on an uneven wall. It is basically an enhanced picture wire.

No it will not work. If it has a true line of site it will work, but near line of site will not.

I bought it for that purpose and found that it was not accurate through tile.
