Starrett Granite Surface Plate Installation

We'll begin the installation of the new ‪@lsstarretttools‬ granite surface plate now that we have our leveling bolt pads machined and ready to go. We must carefully remove the metal cabinet and get it flipped over right side up. Once that's done we'll lift the granite plate, set it onto the cabinet that begin to move it to it's final resting place inside the office. Once in the office we'll get it leveled and ready for work.
With the addition of the new granite plate we will have the capabilities of showing some high quality inspection and tool room work where the plate is used as a master flat surface to work off of. Used for measuring flat and straightness of parts or setting up other inspection tools to sweep workpieces on to gauge and inspect. The plate will also be used to check and inspect scraped surfaces such as straight edges. This tool has many wonderful uses and I look forward to sharing it's uses with my audience.

Reminds me of the Surface Plate we had at the German company I worked for as an Engineer many years ago! I forget the dimensions, but it was easily twice as long and wide as that one! First time I saw it I ran my hand over the surface and there was a BIG gouge in it. Turned to "Hans" the German Shop Foreman and said: "Wouldn't want to be the guy that did THAT"! Hans said: "He vas fired." Found out later Hans chased the guy out of the shop with a hammer! We got along great though, I didn't break tools! 😁

Adam, have your electrician put a 20 amp outlet in the ceiling directly over one edge of your service plate. You can then put a drop on that so you can reach socket/s. I found it very helpful to not have cords laying all over the floor when I had to have electronic gauging equipment on the plate.

Cardboard between steel on steel situations is excellent to prevent slipping. I learned that from a professional Rigger. It has served me well forklifting or jacking machinery into position. I saw a guy setting a granite slab as a front door stoop. He threw a bag of ice on the surface he was setting on to allow him to fine tune the position as it settled into place

Fine business on the new granite plate. And thanks for the tip about Northern Tool. Now I have a tip for you: Go see your orthopedic Dr. and see if it's time for a knee replacement. There is NO REASON to suffer with it any more. I tore my knee up with a sports injury in 1969. 10 days in hospital, 10 weeks in plaster cast. It finally wore out last year and i got a brand new shiny titanium knee for Christmas in 2021. The doc who did it did it robotically. I asked him what the difference was and he said that he would still be doing the surgery , but the robot made him an order of magnitude more precise when fitting the bone to the titanium. The bottom line is shorter recovery time, fewer unhappy outcomes, less meds needed. I was in hospital one day and out the next.. Walked on it before I went home. Was back at work in two weeks, pretty much full recovery in 3 mo. Now a little over a year later it's better than new. No pain, works great, no issues. So, when you and your doc agree you need one, don't hesitate. You'll be glad you got it done. My2c

My grandfather had something like that in his shop when I was very young. It was a square and smaller than yours. but it was a table setup. I remember he kept a heavy wool felt blanket over it and put a butcherblock wood tabletop placed over that to help protect it when it was not being used for measurements. I also remember he sold it shortly after he had a stroke and knew he could no longer do machining work like he used to. This memory sticks in my head because I also remember seeing his face as the buyers truck rolled away. He was not smiling... more like holding back tears. That table looks magnificent sir. Take care of it and I feel it will serve you well into your years.

So nice of mother Earth to provide for us a material we can use for such precision and accuracy. P.S. I have a pallet jack I got at auction for $50. I've used and abused it for about 4 years. I lift triple stacked plastic gaylords full of steel parts which often cause the pump to bypass when jacking (at least 5500lbs). The load will sway and lean when maneuvering ... but I've never had an issue with it and it always returns to level and fully lowered when done. Hopefully Northern see's this video and hooks you up with a more industrial grade (old school) pallet jack.

When final leveling, I would consider using the toe jack and small pivot point in the center of one end (to create a 3 point arrangement) and level the opposite end, then repeat same procedure on the other end. Then level the long side by equal turns of the bolts on the end going up or down. This should insure even pressure on each foot and eliminates any torsion in the stand.

Calibrate it! Get somebody with Mahr Leveling System or Renishaw XL80 laser with interferometer to check overall flatness, AA grade. They will check repeat reading (uniformity) and overall flatness from side to side and corner to corner (Moody Plot). Hopefully they wont try to trick you and pencil whip it. I have moved big plates for the Air Force many times. I made special extreme heavy duty dollies that go under each foot of the stand. I calibrate our plates every two years. Our QA program is very strict so no BS.

Idea for keeping this calibration document. Get you one of those plastic document pouches (not those for shipping documents, there are sturdier ones) and some double sided tape.

Put that pouch with the document just on the inside of the cabinet door, it will never be far away.

I would immediately make a Masonite cover for it. Workmen or other people will assume it is just another table. They will drop their heavy tools or whatever onto the surface when you aren't around. Install your surveillance cameras. At least then you will know how it happens. It is interesting how your big shop is getting smaller all the time. I have several old used pallet jacks and I move my machinery with them and who knows what they did before I got them. It is sad to see something get tweaked like that. However if anyone might go beyond the capacity.......it could be you. That Pergo office flooring might be the "floating floor" type that sits on a sheet of foam. I've used it before and it failed me in a kitchen. It wouldn't tolerate water. I will never use it again.
