[Metrology] Resurfacing And Recalibrating Several Surface Plates

When I was working in a very large machine shop in Dayton a group of guys from a place in Michigan called "Doc's" drove down in an old box truck style ambulance to recertify/repair all our granite plates. I watched these very strong fellows pick up, flip and spin plates all day long (big granite plates) knocking the high spots down with diamond dust. It seldom took them more that a couple days to do the 60 or so in our plant.
 
Very cool video - I hate to think what mine would measure out to but then I ain't all that accurate either! Thanks for posting.

Was looking at Tom's video and was wondering watch the white powder was which they used in between the plates Any ideas
 
What kind of price is it for a 48x72 plate? Tim
 
That's going to vary widely. How far do the calibration people have to travel? Is that the only plate you need done? How bad is it? Is it a pink plate or softer, black granite? What grade do you need it certed to? You'll have to call around for an estimate in your area.
