Thanks for the detailed info I will plan on 300 line units.
No real reason to surface the table other then looks...kinda looks 30 yrs old! I agree on swinging the spindle that was my main concern if tram would be the same. I have a friend that will surface grind it for me for free but I'm positive it's not worth that much work and I'm afraid if I start taking it apart I will end up disassembling it all.
