I use a folding (but so far never taken down and folded) 6 foot resin table with my Juki TL2010Q which is similar in weight to most of the vintage machine heads as it is mostly metal. I like how it works with the table intact, but feel pretty certain that cutting the table would affect the stability way more than I would like it too. Since mine is a folding table, it is a bit stiffer than the 6 foot tables that are one piece, as the additional edges where it folds add reinforcement. I agree with the suggestion to look for a simple, sturdy wood table and cut that.
