== Table Removal ==
The table needs to be removed periodically to clean the grinding grit from the ways.
The table is heavy.  We need a system for lifting the table off of the saddle.  THe engine hoist doesn't work well.  Perhaps a ceiling supported crane would work.
# Remove the nut at the end of the cable on the right side under the table.  Fasten a weight to the end of the cable to prevent the cable from unwinding on the capstan.
== Moving the grinder ==
The ball ways need to be removed anytime the grinder is moved.  This is necessary to prevent the races from Brinelling.  To remove the ball ways, disconnect the X axis cable at each end of the table then prop up the ends of the table.
