The table was about 80 pounds heavier than me and I was able to remove it by hand this way.
Another overview of the inside of the saddle.
The threads you see outside of the housing.....that's built up grease...and chips. Really filthy! 30 years worth.
You have successfully removed your table! I made my small workbench to allow me to work on the table and the saddle.

The table is HEAVY 250 pounds... with a heavy enough table right next to the machine it's not too bad.
Time to pull the table off...I built a simple workbench at work height for me...about 37" high...less cuts on my lumber I had.
Remove the table lock. There is a plunger inside that has the matching angle to the table dovetail. Use a magnet to remove...

The table was about 80 pounds heavier than me and I was able to remove it by hand this way.

However I removed it at a slight angle for less drag as I pushed it onto the workbench. Once it started to cant over like this I lowered the knee until it was level and pushed it the rest of the way off.
