Hey guys
I am needing some parts to be made as flat, parallel and square as possible.
Here in South Africa it is just not economical to purchase a surface plate, cast iron or granite.
They start at around R16000 zar for a small one which is around 1000 usd
I can get a piece of laminated glass free and was wondering if anybody has actually used or tested the accuracy of glass in general as a surface plate.
I have searched for it and found a couple people talking about it, but none having actually done it yet.
I don't need accuracy to the millionths but looking at getting within 0.01mm of flat, parallel and square
