<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 269441, member: 54&quot;]Finishing the job:&nbsp; Table with mounting points, mounted stone with helper and lifting device, space between points and surface plate.&nbsp; We had planned to maneuver the lifter to align the three marks on underside of stone exactly over the three points on the table.&nbsp; Did not work, just couldn&#039;t adjust the lifter with heavy stone with any accuracy at all.&nbsp; So we had the sudden inspiration to see if one person could adjust the light aluminum table to line up the points and the marks, while the lifter remained in place.&nbsp; That worked perfectly and took about two minutes.&nbsp; I&#039;m happy that hardware for points and table are all recycled items we had on hand here already.&nbsp; Soon I hope to find time to measure the actual flatness of the granite as-mounted.</p><p><br /></p><p>First pic shows a little of the electro-hydraulic tipper we used to tip the stone on its side so we could mark the bottom without getting under the stone. The tipper&#039;s forks rotate clockwise (in this photo) up to 90 degrees, then it wasn&#039;t difficult for two people to waddle the stone, then resting on edge, on the machine and away from the forks to do the measuring and marking.&nbsp; The old tipper&#039;s wheel brake didn&#039;t seem to be working so we used the improvised brake, thin wood strips, visible in the photo.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/img_5793.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/img_5795.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/img_5796.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
