Black Granite Surface Plate

Series 517

• Natural granite seasoned for thousands of years is free from deterioration or dimensional change over time.
• Granite surface plate has many advantages over cast iron surface plates:
  • Twice as hard as cast iron
  • Minimal changes in dimension due to temperature changes.
  • Free from wringing, so there is no interruption of work
  • Free from burrs or protrusions because of the fine grain structure and insignificant stickiness; this ensures a high degree of flatness over a long service life and causes no damage to other parts or instruments.
• Trouble-free operation for use with magnetic materials
• Long life and rust-free, resulting in low maintenance costs.
• MITUTOYO Granite Surface Plates meet or exceed Federal Specification GGG-P-463c. Each Surface Plate is shipped with a Certificate of Accuracy which guarantees its accuracy and verifies its traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
