Mine didnt feel that heavy when i pulled it off but i just went and threw a tape on mine. Showing 40.5 inches View attachment 238859 edge to edge on mine. Not sure how tables are supposed to be measured though.
Yours has a 40" table. I didn't think Index made one that short. I was thinking 42" and 48" as mine is. I believe the later ones in the 800 series were offered up to a 54" table.
 
I emailed Wells Index and received this info about my mills
