Ray;
Before you move it; lift the table and remove the balls. Put a couple of pieces of wood on the slides in their place Pine would probably be soft enough not to cause damage to the slides. Alternatively just put the table on a piece of rubber mat in the back of the ute.
As you would realized the vibrations of transport can make indentations in the slides.
I think this has been said before.

Hi Toggy, thanks for the advice, yes the table comes off before it's moved, and with Phil's help I think we have it covered. .RC posted a picture ( complete with original artwork ) showing what to do. Stuart has volunteered the use of his observational super powers.
Thanks Greg, I thought seriously about detouring via the "house of pain" but the truck hire is only for the day, and so it would be a rushed visit. I'd prefer to allow a bit of time when I pick up the rock and visits to such hallowed ground require time for meditation and reflection, not to mention coffee and time for a chat... Joe is coming over Saturday so we can have a go at flattening his welding table on the shaper, so I'm thinking early next week for a spot of coffee and rock throwing...
Regards
Ray

Rock throwing at Gregori's. Does that mean Czechoslovakia might be getting closer??

OK then Ray...I'm back on Tuesday night with any luck, make plenty of time. Any other of the usual suspects feel free...
Bob, when I get back from Hobbits job one is to crate up your Piece of the Rock™. Phil F gave me his trans-Nullabor shippers today, so I hope to have your thing enroute by Friday. I am welding a stand for my stone right now. Or at least I was until my auto darkening helmet got too dark in the gloom here at Flight Rust Hollow.It's all part of the service here at The House of Pain™

LOL...I was thinking that just today RC...and much to my surprise I can report that the makers print at least 12 different versions of the cert as they are all unique.

I was going to yesterday Stuart, but it was such a nice day (and I was supposed to be enroute to Jakarta but got cancelled out at 0820) that I decided to take a ride over to Valley Steel in Kangaroo Ground...I like those guys, and they'll often cut to length while you wait.
They do welding too.
All I managed today was base plates drilled, tapped, welded on and three members joined. Only eight more to go. then I'll post photos. Its going to be overbuilt.

Greg, a senior engineer where I work was once was heard to say
"Over design is a matter of conjecture; under design is a matter of fact"
Worth remembering.

I was just speaking with Phil about that today. I have been trying to get an answer from a competent authority on granite as to whether or not the cut-off, or the plate, or both, will warp if cut.
I haven't spent much time looking for an answer though...maybe in the coming weeks.

Hi RC - if Ray only wants the spare left centre, I'm very interested in a right one! My cylindrical grinder came without any! I was counting on being forced to make one from scratch....
What's the centre-height, please?
Cheers,
Joe

I will measure the centre height tomorrow..... The right one has suffered a bit a bit of grinding damage, but I think it would be serviceable... The lever flicks up and down OK....
Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.
