Thanks man! Hah yeah it’s surplus elevator metal. With the loads of free metal I get, the table gets lots of use! I don’t know how I lived before I built it. The drop in dowel clamp system is a game changer.
I get tired just thinking about drilling all those holes lol
I have a few of those slabs too (dunno where I could have got them
) and on one of them it was all I could do to get a 3/8 hole drilled in it. Rest were no trouble,but that one end of the one plate...holy crap . Just destroyed drill bits. Wasn't a work hardening issue, could try an inch away and watch a brand new drill bit melt without making a dent.
My guess is they're made of recycled steel and that one had a bunch of old tool steel in the mix that didn't get stirred in.
Or perhaps a futuristic alloy..
Ya get a thumbs up for paying homage to Terminator!

I like 3/8"s plate. Christmas is just around the corner
Have you ever heated metal till its glowing and then drill it. Works real well on hardened steel.
Although if I had 9 more square feet in my shop I'd just buy an Arkdroid cnc plasma cutter.

I have yeah, although I got rid of my oxy acetylene setup years ago, so in this case, my options were limited.I like 3/8"s plate. Christmas is just around the corner

Hah! Yes that chain is definitely some futuristic alloy! 
Don't be bringing logic into scifi.
Next you'll be asking if Gandalf knew about those eagles the whole time, and if so why did he get a pack of midgets to walk the ring to the volcano, when he could have just flown it there, dropped it in, and been home in time for lunch.
Sorry man, just basic metallurgy - melting point of each metal varies. What about the steel pot the molten slurry of steel is in?

Yeah like a steel alloy that’s hard to drill threw..
Jokes are less funny when you have to spell them out unfortunately.
The joke was I was concentrating on the chain ignoring the Liquid Metal Terminator that Seapotato was obviously referring to when he was talking about futuristic metal.

Does anyone know who sells 33x9.5r15? It seems like they are obsolete?
I remember someone saying Interco but I just checked and nothing?

It does make me wonder things like load rating and sidewall numbers etc on the UTV tires cause aside from
not being used on asphalt, they have to be the most overly abused tire there is.
This is cool

Look for 295/75R15 slightly smaller but really close in metric.
Canadian Tire still sells ‘flotation’ sizes but they charge more for non-metric tires.
295/75-R15 vs 33/9.5-R15 Tire Comparison - Tire Size Calculator | Tacoma World
33/9.5-R15 tires are 0.61 inches (15.4 mm) larger in diameter than 295/75-R15 tires and the speedometer difference is 1.8%
