    Hi,
    For starters I dont have a surface grinder, but a couple of questions that might help others.
    How "not flat" is it?
    How big is it?

    Hi Stuart thanks for your replay, well hard to explain but a place a straight edge metal ruler and found high and low spots so the hole table have to be mill or surface grinding.
    I don't know much about it.
    The table is 560 x 800 m/m.
    Thanks again.
    Ricardo.

    Ricardo,
    I suggest you send a PM to Phil "Machtools" (forum member) and ask him if he can help or to get you a quote from Marko (his friend). These two are likely to be only two in Melbourne to do a great job and not to rip you off either.

    Also, they will likely ask you to describe how the table casting is mnounted and if the mounting is possibly the cause for the distortion. Something you will want to consider and check.
    Cheers,
    Joe
