Hello all!
In the next few weeks I will buy a few more tools for my hobby machining shop and I intend to buy a granite surface plate.
I have been gathering informations about this subject and it seems that for my purpose I shall be happy with a 12"X18"X3" grade 'B' (tool room)
I intend to build a welded square tubing base for it and use a three point leveling system to set it perfectly level.
Funny enough I can't find much information about how to treat the surface initially when it's new, and then at routine maintenance intervals. Maybe since these are very simple devices there is simply not much to say about them? But without being maladively perfectionnist, I like to know and understand these basic things!
So the questions are:
- is there an initial treatment to be given to a new stone?
- Are there some products I should never touch the stone with?
- Other considerations I am ignorant of?
Thanks, Luc
