RE: Idler Drive Plinth Question

I have to disagree with the above comment about cutting slate,if you look on LencoHeaven plenty of people have cut plinths using angle grinders or even ceramic saws.

Drilling holes is also pretty easy in slate. In general if you make a mistake you can always refill the hole with adhesive mixed with powedered slate and when its hardened just have another go.

There's also good arguments about using some of the new super adhesives and just glueing the tonearm or plinth directly to the slate plinth.

In my experince so far I have built a multi layered plywood plinth and it was probably harder work than making a slate plinth.
