Anyone need a 12 foot B&S straight edge?

don't need a surface plate to make/check one. You need 3 of them! Check/scrap to each other

Typically if your working on machinery with 12'+ ways you have access to a 12' surface plate

Really have fun leveling ways on machines with 40' long ways. All done with piano wire stretched extremely tight

I can just see using the 3 plate method on that 18K pound block! LOL

talking about the camelback, not the surface plate, Straight edges were commonly made in sets of three.
