HI Alan

Tables are always cast iron due to the stability of the material. My Bridgeport has a cast iron table and thats only about three years old. Cast iron is fine with soluble cutting oil and WD40.
What size is the table you are looking to replace? and what machine is it on? I can point you to places that sell castings for tables but bare in mind you will have to machine your own T slots and line bore for teh lead screw.

Let me have the size and make and il ask around.

Cheers Kevin
