Anyone need fixture plates for your machines? Dug these out and am deciding what to do rather than put them back in the pile. Carr-Lane and AME Safeflex style, 2 pcs 26 X 24 1 pc 32 X 24. These are great plates, have 1/2 bushings and 1/2" threads on every hole on a 2" grid. I had the 2 small ones on one machine and loved them, now I'd have to cut them down to fit my current machines. No, I don't have a price in mind yet. I have lots of fixture components to go with, and a couple add on pieces as shown.

Those are nice. Ive had plates like that on machines and really liked them. Makes swapping fixtures easy and offsets repeat within a thou or so. I've had aluminum ones too and I would never use aluminum again. It moves around too much and the thread inserts and bushings fail after awhile. Steel and cast ones are great. Except for the weight.

What do you think freight would cost to get those shipped to California?

VERY nice and VERY expensive!
I had 2" 6082-T6 raiser plates and used drill bushes (loctited in) for location holes and wire inserts for clamping holes..
But I'm cheap :)

I just discovered that I have 4 of these T slotted tables. 7" x 27" X 3" w/3 5/8" T slots. They are from late Millright mills, were removed when new to convert the mills to do repetitive drilling operations or something similar that they didn't need the tables on them for. Should be worth $200 each? Or make an offer for all 4.
