Granite Solutions
Surface plate stands
Granite reference surfaces
Granite solutions are reference surfaces and standards of extremely high flatness and stability. Starrett makes them in Crystal Pink® and Superior Red granite—the latter with the highest quartz content for greater wear resistance—in AA (laboratory), A (inspection) and B (shop) grades.
Steel stands and bases stabilize and level the plate at working height, with heavy-duty, leveling and storage drawer options.
