    Granite surface plate/flattening/where to buy?

    Ja like that, but .03mm equates to .0018", and I'm hoping to find someone whom has measured the "flat sole" down to .0001", an order of magnitude finer. Please don't tell me it makes no difference, I know it doesn't-unless you got a "plane 0 shame", but what I want to investigate is a...

    Granite surface plate/flattening/where to buy?

    200mm fine wire wheel 5/8 arbor

    jewelers supply stores have them, , but-often in a wooden hub intended for a tapered shaft, but they often sell adapters as well. But like any wire wheeel, you've got to pay attention to max rpm! I dunno if a router speed control would work on a regular bench grinder. Eric

    Sold Record Dowelling Jig
