Hi all, does anybody know what a "precision table" is used for?
I bought this item at a tool auction, as part of some gear.
It is about 125mm (5") in diam, and 75mm (3") thick, fine finished top surface and is in a wooden case.
I would hazard a guess that it is the equivalent of a set of parallels for use on a surface plate to bring the part, to be measured, up off of the deck to allow easier acess.
It could be used by itself like a mini surface plate but it's too small to get any measuring tools on, such as as height gauge.
I was just thinking it might be used as as hand held reference surface plate to check the surface flateness of a machine part, but it's too small for any significant area indication.
