If this is mis-posted feel free to move.
I am attaching the cast side wings to my tablesaw. Not to bad to install and get close to flat but at 60 pounds each a bear to get perfectly coplaner. They are actually ground properly so they are parallel, no shims needed. I came up with an idea on how to gently lift them a fraction at a time. A little more precise then a dead blow hammer.
I cut a 2x4 about 1.5 inches short of the distance from the floor to the bottom of the table. One for each end. Then put a three foot long 2x4 flat across the top of the vertical 2x4 as a pry lever. Move then end of the lever a fraction and the table will move up a tiny fraction. I had thought of a house jack which I have used for setting sinks.
