My guy, at my behest, made this T-slot table. The top is a part of
some super duper precision custom special CNC honing machine that I
bought for parts. It was ultra modern looking, but seemed to be suited
only for a special operation.

The legs are 3/8" thick structural tubing that I had laying around.

Weight 1,400 lbs.

Wow, you must have a pretty big mill in the shop, eh?

That came off the rotary table sitting on his mill table. The Table
electric drive is 40HP DC for direction control. :-)

g Yeah, it would have to be pretty hefty. For a moment, I thought
that Ig had decided to keep one of those monsters he sells for scrap.


OK, how much, do you think, I should ask for it?

It weighs 1,400 lbs.

I'll pass. I don't even think in terms of 1,400 lb. tables.


I usually ask $1 per lb on bigger stuff like that.

For small stuff I ask $1.20 per lb.

I will add a new 6" bullet vise to this table and will sell it as NEW
table with NEW vise.


The law in Illinois can be tough on you, Ig. It better not be said or written by anyone anywhere that its "new" (if it actually isn't "new", though).

Maybe you can try those tricks in Wisconsin, though. I bet they go for that, there.
