You have to check the machine table to see how flat it is. if it's out a couple thou. then if the plate is within .001 it still wouldn't be flat when you bolt it down.

That's a good point, Kevin. I was just thinking about the table flatness earlier. It could be off a few thousandths. I could just buy that one from A2Z, bolt it down after I make sure my mill is trammed in, then fly cut it myself. Seems to be the most cost effective option. Thanks for the advice!
