Thoughts on Sorotec alu-line machine

Yes, the first version I made used epoxy leveling until I aquired the large surface plate. Epoxy works ok it's just more work and takes a lot longer. The method I use now is dry within hours and can be drilled tapped the next day and rails fitted. You cannot fit rails on epoxy for at least 2 weeks.

Can you specify or maybe give me a link for the epoxy metal that dries so fast? I'd like to try that.

From where/how did you aquire the large surface plate and how much did it cost? I am thinking if it would be possible to make one DIY with epoxy resin, hehe.

They have many suppliers around the world I believe but this the company and the type I use.

It was gifted to me by a Friend. It's a massive 10" thick piece of fine-grained Granite that is precision ground to a calibrated tolerance and not something that could be replicated with epoxy.
You can buy them from any good tool supplier or meteorological supplier. However, they are expensive and very very heavy.
