About a month ago I bought a Enco 18 inch vernier height gauge and a 8 inch micrometer through Craigslist Milw. Of course i did this in spite of not having a surface plate. Since my usual work isn't gauge making, I thought that for my needs my vintage cast iron table saw surface would fill the needs. But then, a nearby (15 miles) cabinet and counter making company listed granite top scraps and other sundries for sale. I bought a 14" x 19" x 1" black granite sales sample for $ 42. Both of my shops are not being heated in this Vortex weather debacle so it's too cold to check it out with my .005-0-.005 indicator, but it looks flat when glancing down the length. Should work for me if & when Spring ever arrives.
