Why I ask:
5 Expert Tips for Granite Surface Plate Maintenance | Eley Metrology
This brief article by Eley Metrology recommends rotating your surface plate every so often. There’s no mention of a need to give the same 3-point support at the position to which it was rotated, which would complicate such rotation if only the granite was rotated, especially with oblong plates. First time I saw this article months ago I wrote an email inquiry to Eley using the form they provide, and never got a response.
If UK ignores the 3-point thing, does EU also?
Or maybe the Eley article was written by an upper-class suit-guy in the front office who doesn’t know very much about the topic?
