    Re: Surface Plates Granite

    Hi dan - Where did you get the indicator for checking the plates and did you get a repeat o meter? If so where in Oz? I want to make some plates. Peter

    Re: Surface Plates Granite

    Hi,
    yes I would be interested in a good granite plate. My current mill project has 700mm beds so I would be looking for 800-900mm length.......is that
    doable?

    Re: Surface Plates Granite

    Hi,
    it seems most granite plates are around 4:3 or there about. If I could get a plate 800x500 to around 900x600 I'd be good.
    Getting it to New Zealand could be an expensive exercise though.
