I asked this over on the Hobby-Machinist forum a couple days ago but no replies so I'm trying here.
I've had this table since the late 80's just sitting on a shelf. I have project which could use it, so I'm cleaning it up and lubing it. I took everything apart, except for the actual round table itself. I removed the two Allen cap screws top center and both stops. I've turned the thing several times looking thru the windows in the bottom but I can't see anything holding it on. I don't want to beat on it as I can actually grease the gear/pinion assy now. Just curious how it comes apart.

Those are not pins but two more screws most likely holding the large gear in place. No way to access them until the table top is off. Thx for the input.

They should be pins.

At this point it's just habit that's holding it together. Whack the center of the table with a dead-blow hammer or the likes.

THANK YOU!
I thought they were the bottom of two more cap screws. I went out after seeing your reply and took a small drift and hammer to one of the "pins" and it moved slightly. Knowing that I took a piece of wood and hammer to the under side of the table, and off it came.
