=== Procedures ===
 +
==== 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 ====
 +
''Never move the grinder without coordinating with Dean, the owner.''
 +
 
 +
The two table ball cages need to be removed anytime the grinder is moved.  This is necessary to prevent the races from Brinelling.  To remove the ball cages, disconnect the X axis cable at each end of the table then prop up the ends of the table.
