That may work Ray. There is enough room to machine off 1/8" off of it now without weakening the platen as well. That motor side plate holds the wheel assy. and would have to remain, but could cut the whole platen off and move it back after welding a side plate to the platen to bolt onto the existing motor side plate though. Most colleges with a machinist program will usually take a project like this though. If I knew someone with a mill I'd do it myself. How long and thick are those pyroceramic plates Ray, this platen is 12" long so it will be a long time before I run grooves in it. I don't use the work table to flat grind anyway so I'll grind up and down on the platen in the flat position away from myself.
