Is it necessary or advisable to use a special stand for a granite surface plate? Will a self built heavy duty wood unit work? I see most granite pieces are black, but recall pink being better? Opinions on grade, ledge or not, and size are welcome. I am using a 9" Southbend lathe and 5 x 20 mill, so most work is smallish. I am asking about the stand and plate because Enco has free shipping on this stuff right now, but have no good way to handle it upon delivery as I am laid up with a fractured ankle for the next 2-1/2 months.
