So do they diamond lap cast iron plates? Or how do they get them to the proper grade? I have a decent understanding of how they do this on granite.
I can't believe they have handles for those huge plates... there is even a handle for the 900+ pound version. Must be machine lifting points?

I'm not sure how the "precision ground" surface plates are finished. I do know a hand scraped one costs about 1/3 more than the same size precision ground one. The list price for a 24" x 36" precision ground one is about $2,000.00. The same size hand scraped one is about $3,000.00. As for the handles, there is typically a lifting tool that slips over them. The tool is then raised by a crane or lift. Here's a link to a smaller plate available on e bay. Note the lifting tool that comes with it.
