I have a very old CI T slot machine table top that looks to be from some type of planer, judging by the massive gear rack along the bottom. It is about 20" wide by almost 60" long. The T slots end about 5" from each end and there is a 3" deep full width pocket at each end. The 3 top edges of the pockets are as cast, and about 1/8 below the machined top. Table would be a lot more useful if I could build those ends up with ? Silicon Bronze?
My final plan is to face mill the entire top to clean it up. This heavy chunk was used outside and beat on a lot before I bought it. Some weld beads, some busted iron at T slot edges. No plans to make a silk purse from this pigs ear. Other option is to mill down the 3 pocket edges and bolt some filler pieces in, then face the entire top.
