I checked my machine again last night, and I was wrong - you could get a 20mm screw through the back of the column. I didn't check the alignment of the hole with the current screw though, or if there were any ribs in the way.
I haven't taken the whole table off yet. How much did yours weigh, and how did you do it exactly? I don't want to damage anything when the last bit of engagement drops out.
Oh - let's see those photos too!
