First off what metal is it? Brass, aluminum, steel, stainless steel, etc. etc. Secondly, are the dimensions accurate? Is it only 1 1/2 inches wide?


Here is a photo of the face plate on the steel work bench. The bench has three shields (LH, RH, and rear) to prevent items from rolling of as well as this face plate to attach to the front edge of the bench top to finish it off and hold down a thin piece of wood/plastic, if the person decides not work on the steel surface top.
