Granite surface plate cleaner?
yes, it is a 72" x 144". It is inspected to grade AA, I grind precision parallels and need it as good as I can get. After the first 2 years, it has really stayed put and it needs minimal touch up upon re certification. -

I used to use that exact type of set up, the old timers from Mattison used a scope exactly like this. Once I was introduced to a wire mic I was sold. The scope is a good set up, but you need to always refocus when you are in the middle of the base to compensate for wire sag. You diameter of...- cash

Mobil Vactra #2 Shortage??
If they are hardened, the mfg's all state standard 68 wt oil, Vactra 2 or equivilant. But all the old skool cast iron way machines, you will want to use oil with a tackifier.
