    Default LARGE Cast Iron Surface Plate

    Posting for a friend who looks like he might be selling...

    Would anybody have a need for a 3m x 1.5m x ~0.2m cast iron scraped in surface plate on a metal stand? Weighs around 3 tonnes!! Would hate to see it scrapped for a few dollars. Not sure on what he would be asking and I have no idea of its worth.

    Just sussing out if there likely to be any interest.

    Cast Iron goes for ~10c a kgs so 3000 kgs would be at least $300 as scrap.

    I don't really have a need, but if it is going to go to scrap i could possibly save it.

    I need a welding and fab table but I thought it would be too nice to destroy for that purpose hence asking around.

    If WE knew what price he'd like for it, you may get some more interested parties.
