I used a Sears butcher block workbench top when building my CNC
Mill/Lathe stand.<br>
They also sell an 8' stainless steel top. you should be able to drop
it over top an older work bench surface.<br>

I almost went with 1/4" plate for my main workbench but instead
bought an Eastwood welding table.<br>
I use it as a 'portal' work surface. With it's removable slats, it
makes a GREAT frame for odd parts by allowing you<br>
to adjust the slats as needed. I have multiple small tops I
use...plywood, plexi and a metal sheet for various projects<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to rebuild my garage work
bench which I have used for 35 years. It’s getting a bit rough
looking. I made it out of 2x4’s with 5/8” particle board for
the work surface. It’s about 2’ wide and 8’ long. I would like
to at least replace the particle board with metal. Has anybody
done this? What thickness did you use for the work surface? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
