Getting a machine (tabletop cnc) that needs to sit on a sturdy worktop so looking for something to put it on. The usual tables from Builders etc. are far too light. Any suggestions? Don't mind used / 2nd hand.

You can buy an industrial worktop. But if you have time I would just buy a nice thick top, some 50x76 timber and build a nice sturdy table.

I've got two of these in my workshop. They're sturdy and you can bolt it to the floor if necessary. If you're looking for something that you can put casters on and wheel around your workshop then this won't work.

Even if you take that concept, get a sheet of shutter board, 50x76 timber. And build a nice sturdy frame. Can add brackets to the bottom if you want to build to floor.
