Struggling to replace MM-16 table
#26
LIL I'm thinking that removing the trunnions, mounting them to the saw and then mounting the top will be easiest. With supports under it in case I deke right and the table jukes left.

Nothing wrong with doing it that way, except you'll have to do the major alignment instead of the minor.

What would be involved? I know I'd have to get the table flat. Would I have to adjust it (more or less) square to the blade? What other alignment would be needed?

Thanks!

Does it make sense to remove the trunions, and attach those to the saw, then place the table onto the trunions?

That would work on my (different make/model) saw, but don't know if it would work on yours.

Had to go look at mine again. I have a MM-16 also.
There's 4 jack/attaching bolts holding the table on. You have a certain distance between the table and trunion plate. Looks to be 1/2" or so.
Maybe make some wood spacer blocks to fit in there. That will give you a guide to follow when you put the table back on maybe.
Then, level and resquare the table to the blade.

Maybe?



I'd go find some lifting help.
