Surface Plate Questions
So I've done two lugged frames now, one jigless and one with the help of a fairly simple 80/20 fixture. Any "alignment" has been with math, straight edges, angle finders and a generous amount of head scratching. I don't really have professional ambitions and I do this just because I like it and since I'm pretty broke these days I do it on a low budget.
I spotted a granite surface plate on a classifieds site that is being given away and is local to me. The catch is that it's pretty big, 50x60x10 mounted on a steel table and it's currently equipped with a granite gantry over the plate as well.
Do you think it's worth the time, effort and $ to get this thing in my garage? For those with experience moving something like this how much would it cost to get it on a truck, drive it for ~1hr and get it off with the proper equipment and expertise?
