Platen shape?

Post by Meatsack »

Making my own and wanted to know does the neck post on platens help much or not? I see some people use all different types from square to neck posts and wanted to know does it really help or make a difference and if there's 1 shape that works better or worse. Never tried just a square shape and was just curious.
