Wearing of ceramic glass platen

[SHARPCO]

We've been following along on this discussion with some interest SHARPCO. Mark makes a great platen for the Kally and there are lots of people who use them that would agree with us. Grepper also made a stainless steel platen that is used in conjunction with his knife rest. The only apparent wear after months of use is a shiny spot where the back of the belt comes into contact with the platen. Here are a few pictures of Grepper's platen mounted on our Kally and hope that they help.

                                                                               

Thank you so much EOU

I predicted that it would look similar to platen of Viel S5. Is this made to use a knife guide on a slack belt?
