Largish, 12 X 24" top w/3/4" T slots, 8" tall. These are the only photos I could get ATM, it's too heavy to flip over w/o help. (I can't even slide it on the plywood) I remember it being in pretty nice shape, except one corner of the top is chipped off. If you can come pick it up in zip 17602, name your price. If I have to ship it I'll charge $125/hr for preparation to load on your truck plus $100 for the table - (I really don't want to ship it)

I have a long angle plate that would go well with this, I'll post a photo tomorrow.

I pried it up to take a photo. Looks pretty good except the corner is missing.

Here's the angle plate. 24" X 9" high X 8" deep. What's this worth to someone who can use it? Can't imagine what a new one would cost.
At what point do you start to dispose of the "maybe I'll use it someday" stuff? Looks like this is the day for me.

to me...it looks like a trunnion fixture made to be used with a radial drill.

I hauled in 12 tons a few weeks ago. Lots of things were probably useful in some way, but didn't fit my actual business at all. Most of it was stuff that needed lots of effort from me to sell it. My mental math said taking that time away from my core business meant I was losing.

I have a big pile of large cast t-slot tables, huge angle plates and tilting box tables. I didn't scrap them because I decided I'm going to set them in the ground to form a pathway to my shop's back door.

Those will be slick when wet or frosty I think.

I've been told that I have single handedly moved the magnet north pole slightly.

I almost bought a 10' X 24' X 12"thick T slotted floor plate. At a live auction. I wanted it real bad for a fabricating table for car chassis. Thought and thought and thought about where to put it and how to move it in. It was in awesome condition.
I finally turned in my bidding number before it came up so I wouldn't be able to bid on it. I watched it sell for a few hundred dollars.

That would be an awesome plate to own. I've seen smaller ones around 8x12ft, but they went for thousands.

I knew I'd buy the hbm I have if I went to the auction so I stayed home. I had a couple friends there though and one of them took matters into his own hands. He signed up to bid with my name and bought it and all the tooling under my name.

I think there are 12-step programs to help you figure out how to deal with friends like that.
