David,
>Is the plinth contacting the plate around the bearing?<
No, there is no contact with the plinth except the edges of the chassis.
>Was it difficult to adjust the levels of the plinth to the different thicknesses of the Rek-O-Kut plate?<
The top layer of the plinth is baltic birch plywood that was cut to match the chassis. I had cut the second layer of plywood to a smaller size and ended up routing a shallow area that the chassis brace was contacting just enough to keep the chassis from clamping down tight. The rest of the plywood layers were cut to clear the motor.
>What kind of record mat are you using?<
The mat is a thick hard rubber mat off from a Denon TP-75 turntable I have. Damps the metal platter wonderfully.
