Surface Plate Question
Hi all,
Im looking to finally pull the trigger on a granite surface plate. I have a busget of around $1200 and so far the biggest i can get for that coin is a 630x630x100 grade 00 with stand delivered to Dandenong from Sydney.
That gives me a diagonal of around 890mm which is ok but still limits me for some of the longer stuff.
Ideally a 600 x 900 would really make me happy.
Ive done a reasonable search for price and availability so i think its probably the best size for the price and grade. Second hand comes up from time to time but never when i have the cash waiting!!
Anyone seen any better deals or similar deal for a 900mm plate?
Hare and forbes have a plate for around the 1K mark (less when they have a special) but they are slightly smaller at 600x600. Thats about 850mm diagonal.
