First of all, I'm working on 2 sets of GC2 rails. Of the 12 rails, 10 of them have sub-rails thicker then they're suppose to be, 2 of them the sub-rails are shorter than the needed thickness.
Then, even though all of the sub-rails are wider than they're suppose to be, 4 of the 12 were really wide.
2 of the rails had wood come off the face of the sub-rail with the removal of the cushions, but one was real bad, I didn't remove the cushions, Clark did, the room owner, but that's OK.
In the first picture, that's the factory edge on the top of the sub-rail. In order for GC's to play correctly, this height from the playing surface of the slate needs to be set at 1 11/16"s of an inch.
After correcting the thickness of the sub-rails, as I said, 10 out of the 12 rails were to high at sub-rail thickness which means inconsistent nose height of the cushions. In the next 2 pictures, you can see my tooling took off the extra height of the sub-rails to make them all a consistent height.
When you're installing K55 cushions that are 1 1/4" wide, the sub-rail width from the bevel down angle to the Formica finish has to be 3/4" in order to add up to 2" so that the playing surface will be a consistent 50"x100" and for the rails to line up with the pocket casting corners, that also means that if the cushions are at the correct width, then the Formica is correct at 54"x104", which is what you need in order to line up the rails in the pockets with the points of the corner pocket castings, and straight across the side pocket castings.
