Mesorat%20hashas for Kelim 22:8

שִׁדָּה שֶׁנִּטַּל הָעֶלְיוֹן, טְמֵאָה מִפְּנֵי הַתַּחְתּוֹן. נִטַּל הַתַּחְתּוֹן, טְמֵאָה מִפְּנֵי הָעֶלְיוֹן. נִטַּל הָעֶלְיוֹן וְהַתַּחְתּוֹן, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה מְטַמֵּא מִפְּנֵי הַדַּפִּין, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִין. יְשִׁיבַת הַסַּתָּת, טָמֵא מִדְרָס:

A chest whose top part was removed is still susceptible to impurity on account of its bottom; if its bottom was removed, it is still susceptible to impurity on account of its top part. If both the top part and the bottom part were removed: Rabbi Yehudah says that it is susceptible to impurity on account of its sides; but the Sages rule that it is pure. A stonecutter's seat is subject to <em>midras</em> impurity [transmitted by sitting or lying].
