English term or phrase: dressing plate

This is a type of worktop used in metalworking. Here is the text:

لوح تسوية

Explanation:
According to Al-Khatib's Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms
dressing tool is مِسواة or أداة تسوية

There's a picture of a dressing plate here http://global.kyocera.com/prdct/fc/product/usage/semi/
"Dressing Plate for the polishing cloth
It is a dressing tool for the set of polishing cloth..."

Which suggests that dressing plates are a kind of dressing tool, thus
لوح تسوية
may be it..
