I had the hardest time ever not saying anything.I would have paid $500.... I just need to order some parts and was trying to identify. I never thought they were as overbuilt as they are. It's clearly 10 years old, maybe older, and it's still like a tank!

Here is a picture of the slides.

I apologize if I should post this on another area, but could you guys help me identify the make of this tooling cabinet? My gut says Lista but I'm not positive. It is 28 x 28 x 48. Picked this up on CL for $60. Couldn't believe it. Any help will be much appreciated.

If it's cast aluminum (like mic-6) it would be more resilient to damage, but it's really hard to determine without Bill Nye. Never used an aluminum welding table. I feel like 1" solid would be tough to warp. Thoughts?

Good Morning fellow cavemen. I have been browsing the forums for a while and have yet to pop my thread cherry. I figured I will start with this one. I picked up this Industrial workstation today off Craigslist (for free). It is 36" X 24" with a SOLID 1" aluminum worktop, and it weighs...
