I have a piece of black polished granite worktop, 18" x 18" x 1" (countertop, sink cut out) that I got free gratis from a local manufacturer :thumbup:; I measured from corner to corner in two planes with a digital DTI & all I got on one corner was a drop off of 1/2 thou' ... -.0005" the rest of it read .0000" at all points, close enough for what I need to do, not looking for light waveband flatness as I've long ago finished diamond lapping safety valve discs & nozzles. Any granite trivet from your local home ware or DIY store should suffice for ME work. George. |

Got my granite surface plate from Aldi....IIRC, was about £7.....and very heavy... Measures about 12 x 8 x 1 inch thick.... I think it will meet my needs...., :scratch: |

A piece of granite floor tile, 12" x 6", has met all my needs over the past 10 years....... :thumbup: David D |

Sound like it will likely work well. I think I'll ask around a bit though and try to find a few sink cutouts for free. |

Free shipping from Enco code AUG29 So the cost of a plate isn't too bad. |
