table base
"Kastenfundament" probably is a cabinet base (base for a cabinet), though there isn an off chance it could refer to the shape of a foundation or base.
"table base" probably refers to the table of a machine.

: Kastenfundament - box footing acc. to Gelbrich/Reinwaldt, Bauwesen, so I'm not sure it's quite this simple.

You are probably right. It depends on the further context, which is a bit meager.

slab foundation
Mind you, Alan, this is mere guesswork. Only two hits on Tischfundament, only one of these seems to be pertinent. As Tom says, a bit more context would have been VERY useful!!
Based on the German reference below, and assuming that we are indeed dealing with construction, I'd suggest "slab foundation" for Tischfundament. It's fairly generic. A search on "plate footing" did bring up a few hits that might be pertinent, however, the context is too sparse to come to any intelligent conclusions. You're on your own...

As far as Kastenfundament goes, here we're on a more solid footing (pun intended): box footing per Gelbrich/Reinwaldt, Bauwesen

: Sorry Ulrike, as slab is not like a "Kastzen". Liked your "biox-type" better.

Well here's what I found:
slab foundation, crawlspace? Or maybe not
Google didn’t come up with much (below). The two hits on Tischfundament suggest the term might have two meanings – [concrete] slab foundation OR [concrete, in this case] table base, as for ultrastable laser instrumentation.
By the same token, Kastenfundament might mean a kastenförmiges Fundament (box [type] base), Fundament eines Kastens (box base, base for a/the box) or possibly – a pure guess – crawl space type foundation, as of a house.

table top and box top
"Fundament" does not usually mean "top," but when used to form a compund noun with "Tisch-" or "Kasten-" it can.
Without the context the confidence level cannot be too high, but it is not unreasonable.
After all, what is a table without a top? I.e., a top is fundamental to the existence of a table. A top is the essence of a table.
Knowing this,Tischfundament = table top.
