Why do you need the steel/formica table?  I assumed it was to check to make sure there was no warping of the head which is why I suggested glass.  Would a flat piece of steel that could be set on top of a table work?

Edit: Nevermind - you said that a glass table top would work.  I misread it as "would NOT work".  I don't have a glass tabletop, but I do have a decent sized piece of glass I can put on top of my wood table that I can use to check to make sure the head is flat.
