I removed the paint coating the table stub and it now swivels.
The next problem is that the table isn't anywhere close to being flat. I put my mini lathe saddle on it to drill the holes for the oil ports and it rocked like crazy. I was concerned that the saddle casting was warped but it's fine. The table has hills and valleys especially towards the center. I'm going to take it back to Minnesota with me and have my brother chuck it up in his lathe and skim it until it's flat.
