Hard to imagine this thing ever wearing out. I have one almost exactly like this pic.

Depends on how much you use it and what for. One uncle had a farm and seemed he was building stuff any time he was not on the tractor, eating, or smoking a cigar (why he died early). Hardly a straight/smooth surface on it except for where he ground out the dings for a special purpose. It must have weighed 10% less than when he bought it.
