Hi John Check : http://www.bidservice. com ; you may save some money, on the granite especially ; a lot of the folks are moving out off the line you outlined, to digital units ; where basically you place the board on and all tolerances are scanned against files ; the speed, and "deskilled" operation ; you have a report within minute ; even tied to SPC files . That will cover you all the mentioned tools, but the polishing unit > and I presume you have a microscope to go with . If you'd be buying as you outlined new , you'd be spending the same money on outdated technology ; give it a thought ; we're usually to busy to note the changing times .
