I have a nice B&S grade A granite surface plate, I also have a Mitutoyo gage with a 0.0001 indicator in it for checking surfaces. I clean the surface plate with Starrett surface plate cleaner, it has a cover on it when not in use, and I usually just clean the bottom of my height gage with the palm of my hand. The problem is I cant keep the height gage floating like it should, after a little use it starts to stick in spots and I clean the plate again. Should I put a bit of oil on the bottom of the gage? I always thought it should be clean and dry but I cant keep it from getting sticky on the surface plate surface. I cannot find any recommendations anyplace I have looked and I am hoping I dont get both answers...
