So my buddy found this cabinet in the garbage the other night,and I decided to give him scrap price for it. The casters I found in the garbage about 2-3 weeks ago,but I had to buy the diamond-plate for the top ($60). I still have to paint it,but I don`t think it`ll make a bad tool cabinet for the price.

I need it to put my KR550 on top of until I find a matching bottom box for it. This way I can put my half-empty stainless box up for sale.

Thats a great Find! Its all steel, Looks pretty Heavy Duty. Great Casters and wheels. Nice top too!
A little paint and Your all set.
Nice Job!

The cabinet itself weighed probably about 200-pounds. The drawer slides aren`t the greatest kind...but they work for now.
