Ray the 2x48 platen and side is all one solid piece of cast steel. It is a big angle with the 2 1/2" platen area machined onto it and I am guessing was flame case hardened. I have done that to cast steel with a high carbon content. I will have to machine the face down to put a removable platen on there when it starts to get grooves in it, but it is a long platen and very hard. My RC60 scratcher barely scratches it at all. My son is coming over on Monday to help me mount it onto my cart which I will reinforce with plywood.
