Title: COMBINATION OF AN HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE FOOT AND AN ADJUSTING TOOL[err]Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjustable foot for setting up equipment in alignment. The adjustable foot com-prises a first adjustable part (1) provided with an axial bore with internal screw thread (4). The adjustable foot furthermore com-prises a second adjustable part (2) provided with external screw thread (5) that matches the internal screw thread. When screwed into the bore, this second adjustable part can be adjusted in the axial direction (9) with respect to the first adjustable part by turn-ing with respect to the first adjustable part. The adjustable foot furthermore comprises a support part (6), provided on the first adjustable part or second adjustable part, and a washer(3). The washer and the support part are each provided with a convex, re-spectively,concave surface (66) having essentially the same radius of curvature (R). This adjustable foot according to the invention forms part of a combination that furthermore comprises a tool(20,40) for setting the height (F) of the adjustable foot. According to the invention the tool has an insertion end (21) that is provided with gripper means (23) and can be inserted into the hole (19 in the axial direction. The gripper means (23) are so equipped that, when they engage on the interior of the hole (18) and the insertion end is rotated about the axial axis, the second adjustable part also turns. adjustable foot.
