4655 forum posts 304 photos	One of the 3 feet square granite surface tables in our fitting shop at work was simply sitting on a bench on top of a sheet of 1/2" thick closed cell sponge rubber. It was checked every year by specialists with all the right equipment and had errors less than 5 microns in any direction which was plenty good enough for us. The tables in the inspection were very likely better.
