I inherited a hospital medical table from the 1950's or so, it's been painted a couple of times, which comes off with paint stripped quite nicely. But how do I removed the old glass baked on enamel? I'm guessing media blasting or similar? I tried a variety of sanding grits, but its extremely slow.

Shotgun?
I wonder if a "rice cake" stripping disc would do it...

I doubt that would touch it.
That stuff is pretty tough. Why do you want to remove it?

Adding lightness? 
Aircraft Paint Stripper? Can be had in aerosol cans. Deliciously evil stuff.
I've used this stuff to remove powdercoat before.
Aircraft stripper will have nothing on vitreous enamel. It is powdered glass melted onto steel.
Why? You'll have to blast it off.
What is he table made out of. If it is something metallic, go over it with an oxyacetylene.
This will be expensive, slow, and fraught with horrible noxious gases, but any time you can do a job with fire is a good time in my book.
my buddy restores old 1950s stoves that are porcelain coated.
when he changes color they sandblast the old porcelain off before putting on the new color and and firing it in a big industrial oven.
