Russ if your asking me if covering the surface of the granite defeats the purpose then I'm lost. An ionizer is a very good suggestion but they are not inexpensive. If the table is grounded and the metal bars are on a grounded mat, laminate etc. then

Uh, Great Idea..... There is and has been ESD safe carpet for years. We have it in our manufacturing area right now.
