Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

It's a fantastic item for working on small parts like guitar saddles and nuts, truing up leveling blocks, etc. It's not a machinist quality when you're chasing microns in precision but for a woodworker to have a reference surface this is more than one... Read More

The red granites (pink, actually) tend to have higher quartz content and therefore harder surfaces. The weight is also incredibly helpful in stabilizing my bench. Very heavy, solid to straighten edges.

This granite slab is perfect for flattening plane irons and sharpening chisels. A couple drops of water and capillary action holds the black silicon carbide sandpaper in place while sharpening. I've used it to flatten my ceramic sharpening stones.

This is a solid grade b plate and is priced accordingly. But it appears that there are those who have gotten some lemons. This is my first and appears to be the last surface plate i will be needing, unless i some how break this one.

Quality

Good size for maintaining personal use woodworking tools and knives.

K place it on a waterproof support and put a self adhesive strip of 220grit 3m sandpaper on one side of the surface.

This granite piece is one heavy and sold rock.

Price

Perfect price for a perfect surface plate

Fantastic price for such a piece, especially considering the shipping cost.

00005 (one half of one ten thousands of an inch), and that is not available anywhere for $109.

It's a surface plate at a good price and is supposedly flat.

Shipping

I'm very happy and it shipped in a wooden crate.

They came in a very short time and are exactly as described.

Most of them say it was shipped in a wood box that could be used for storage if it wasn't busted in shipping.

First plate delivered was broken in shipment but a replacement was quickly provided.

Packaging/appearance

Comes packaged very well in a small wooden crate.

I love how it came in a wooden box for protection.

It came in a wooden box inside of a regular box and had a questionable "flatness report" in a sealed bag.

Crated in a 3/8" plywood box then in a cardboard box.

Competitiveness

For serving as a backing plate for straight razor servicing, the plate is a universe better than what i've seen a youtube exper... Read More

0015 is better than most humans are capable achieving in application without high precision, high cost tools to match.

I passed on the far more expensive starrett plate and that was an easy choice for me.
