Looking at this platen table - it's cheap and local, but obviously isn't in pristine condition. It's 30"x60". Five inches thick around the edge and 2.5in in the middle. The crack doesn't run through the edge - yet. Any thoughts? Attached Images
Reply:one of the advantages of using a platen is flatness. after repairing those "cracks" (more like gouges) it probably won't be truly level. i would give it a pass.i.u.o.e. # 15queens, ny and sunny fla
Reply:If it is cheap enough... Could you cut it and make multiple tables? Difficult to see how the crack runs.
Reply:I thought about cutting it. It would be thinner across the cut end, but still 2.5" thick. Wouldn't be too hard to support it along that edge.If going the repair route, what would you do about the crack and/or gouges???I'm guessing it weights 1000-1500 lbs and price is hopefully in the 150-200 range - so not too much more than scrap value.
Reply:id pass on that. can't really cut it, defeats the purpose of the webbing underneath. Besides, what are you going to cut a platen with ? Just find a nice 1.75" square holed Acorn or Weldsale, spend some $$ and keep it a life time. They are awesome!
