Hey,
I am looking to start the 3 plate scraping method to obtain a self referencing flat surface. Or 3 to be more precise. I am debating ordering some dura bar which is expensive. I am also considering buying a cheap used cast iron surface plate and cutting it in 3 eaquel pieces and starting from that point with the scraping. Any advise or suggestions would be grately appreciated. This will be a first for me so any tips will help. Also if anyone has a cast iron surface plate they'd be willing to sell for cheap (maybe a plate in less then perfect condition would be a good place to start. )
Thanks
Dylan
