It would be a real b*tch to seriously use. You would need some fine adjustable crane infrastructure, and some help, and be setting about doing very serious stuff on a very big machine!

Yeah, if you can’t check it, it’s worthless. I guess somebody with an autocollimator could check it like a surface plate cert co.

Just over 18,000lbs (168 lbs/cu. ft) if I figure correctly. The rigging and shipping will not be trivial.

Yeah the lack of "will load" in the ad description, was a dealbreaker for me....

Then there is designing and building a set of legs to support it, and hoping your concrete floor is up to the load....

Believe that I thought of several scenarios of how I could make it happen...

Personally seen a 4'x4'x8', it had a 1'x1'x8' corner taken off, Company would not tell whence it came, it was given away "free for Shipping." Pink granite also.
