Granite surface plate

If you are serious about a turntable platform you will acquire an electron microscope base. Most go for about $10K. Mine works well.

Seriously mentally ill that is.

I was planning to place the surface plate stand on a carpeted concrete floor. The stand is a machinists' stand specifically designed for a granite surface plate. It has adjustable leveling feet.

I had also read that a thick maple cutting board on a granite surface plate works very well. But I can't remember where I read it or if the credibility of the commenter.

Surprise some of u don't like granite platform . As I understd it HRS used granite for their platform as well except they added the " rubberised footers " . So the question is not whether granite is good . It's the implementation of the platform . Likewise there are a lot of opinions about merit of acrylic & glass platform & some manufacturers do used them eg Grand Prix Monaco , Mana rack etc
