cheapo flat surface lapping

<< < (5/5)

ibuildstuff4u:
My idea of a cheap flat surface is to go to Grizzly.com and buy one.  Their granite surface plates start at $19.95 with just $7.95 to ship it.  This is for a 6X8X2" plate but larger ones can be had for just a few bucks more.  I would never lap anything on my good surface plate for fear of damaging the surface, but would have no problem with a cheap one such as these.

I heard a few years ago that the offcut from cutting out sink cavities in granite kitchen counters makes a good cheap surface plate, and that if you ask about you'd probably get one for free since they just get thrown in a skip.

Ever since then i've been trying to convince someone who owns a car that touring kitchen fitters would make for a great day out.
