I'm looking at making some drawers for my lathe table. It is angle iron , Base is 19 inches front to back, with 36 1/2 inches between the inside of angle iron,
If needed I could put something in the middle and make drawers on each side, instead of having such long drawers. But what would be the best type or way to make drawer slides for this. Had though about cutting down some old rack slides from old servers but after having them in the shop for a while notices the grid, dirt, swarf etc, found they do not move all that good. So now I'm looking for suggestions. Figure to put chucks and other stuff in them so they could require a heavy load. Suggestions appreciated.
