"refurbished?" Usually means cleaning, checking and replacing worn parts.
Then they are calibrated using gauge blocks. A flat hard surface helps.
There really is an art to precise measurement it IMO and with the loss of manufacturing it's a skill that's disappearing unfortunately.

It's a Starrett Crystal Pink granite surface plate (Grade B ~ EPD 80634, 24 by 18 inch)
Granite made somewhere on planet Earth but cut shaped and flattened in the USA... I couldn't be happier with the whole deal.
I priced a similar sized plate made by Mituyoto and it was about $300 more than this one! (Black Granite, cut shaped and flattened in Brazil)
