Is A Used Surface Plate Good?
A used surface plate just showed up on my doorstep...amazing what
follows me home sometimes. :) This surface plate is a Rahn 34" x 36" black granite with two ledges. So, how does one decide if a surface plate is "good"? If it is "bad", how do you decide whether or not it is worth refurbishing? How much does it cost to refurbish a surface plate and how do they do it? And if it is not worth refurbishing, what have you used an old surface plate for? I've already got a gravestone. ;) Thanks for any suggestions, comments or wisecracks. TMT |
