They do work. I saw one at NSH some years ago and came home and had the guys in
our shop make one for me exactly like the one I saw and it cost next to
nothing. We bought the little round level at home depot.

Yikes. There is a lot of play getting that bubble in the middle of the
universal aligner that may translate to large variations in alignment each
time the thing is used. The high cost is probably for the clamp, but if the
bubble level is worth $1.50 the quality of the clamp doesn't matter.
I used an even cheaper version of the aligner. My microtome service
engineer suggested an L level or a T level that you can buy at Home
Depot. The L looks just like an L, it is actually a right angle measuring
device, used to make sure the corners or something are straight at 90
degrees.

Yes you can certainly align the old fashioned way easy enough, but I find these
are very handy and do save some time.
