I have two small granite surface plates , and I'm wondering how much effort I should put into stands or supports for them. No stand, or bench surface, is going to be as flat as the plate itself, so in theory I suppose the plate is designed to be rigid in spite of an uneven support. Even so, perhaps placing the surface plate on a reasonably flat area of my bench, and cushioning the underside with a thin layer of soft material might spread out the support area and help the plate to remain flat. Anyone have experience with this issue ?
