Okay, go ahead and tell me I need to remove the table. Now give me specifics. Seems to me:With the restriction not to tell you that you will have to remove the table in place, you may not get many replies
That's a great idea and one which I would love to do. But the break is just far enough under the table to make it nearly impossible to reach. It's a challenge to even grab it with a pair of needle nose pliers, much less work a splice into it. I'll almost certainly try it first anyway, but I suspect the likelihood is it won't work.
Thanks! That's exactly the kind of info I need. I'll start watching right now.Check with H&M's web site.
They have videos of removing the tables from B'pt type clones such as my Jet.

Yes, thanks. I get that. I just finished watching the first twelve minutes of that video, which covers table removal. Two things about it: First, it looks pretty straightforward. I'm sure it won't be without challenges once I get into it, but mechanically, it seems like the dots connect pretty logically. Second, I'm not certain that I'll need to completely remove the table anyway. All I need is enough room to access the tubing. With a little more room, I may be able to splice it; and, if not, I may still be able to remove the full length of tubing without total table removal. In either event, I won't try to do that part alone. Most members here are probably not aware of this, but I used to be Superman - that mill table ain't got nothing on a tall building. Sadly, those days are behind me, so I'll have some help available and a surface to slide the table onto, if necessary.
