Before I got the 510 table ,,,,,the only way I could comfortably use the SS as a table saw was to but the main table up with the smaller table on the end of the machine to keep it from moving.
That also gave me a larger area to work on.

Re: The Table May Be Small but
I think your table movement might better be described as "deflection", and is fairly normal. The table, support tubes and such will slightly deflect. Locking the main table to even one end table with the tubes will get rid of almost all deflection. If you lean on any table setup with enough weight, it may still move.

I find it hard to believe that there is enough movement to be a problem. Now if it really, really moves 1/6" then I am dead wrong. That is far to much movement. I am still sorta betting on carriage locks that are not tight. I am also still a bit confused as to what we are working on. There has been talk about the small table (implies 500) while at the same time talking about a larger table and the small carriage.
Correct me if I am wrong but the 500 carriage and the 510 table are incompatible, right.

Re: The Table May Be Small but
Personally, ripping something at an angle, I
PREFER the tilting, and small table. Now, when
cross cutting an angle on the end of a board,
I'm fond of aircraft carrier sized, tilting arbor
tables.
And, my tables (except that ACFT carrier)
are MUCH smaller than yours.
Us Model 10 users aren't "size" conscious.
We're secure with the size of our tables.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

I will agree that bigger is not ALWAYS better.
