If drill marking is necessary, we should draw a circle of the same size outside the center and also draw another larger circle from the same center so that we know that the drill is being done at the right place. A surface plate is used for jobs that require exact marking. The surface plate is either rectangular or circular, just like the marking table. These plates are made of close grain-cast iron and are kept outside for at least a year for seasoning purposes. This tool is designed so that it never needs setting and it works with a standard No 2 pencil. It ensures perfect cuts even when you are working with uneven corners and surfaces.

Materials Required

Considerable care is required for making surface plate. After molding and seasoning, it is cut or scratched on the planner machine according to the size. Its surface is almost leveled, and through scraping, it gives its true form. Uses of Surface Plate Another factor here is how uneven the surface actually is e.g. how far does it protrude from what would be the furthest or lowest dip in the wall. If you don’t cut away enough then your object won’t sit flush.
