Hey Glen - nice job! Did you know about the location beforehand or was it a surprise?
Will the built-in leveling system still work the same or do you stand a chance of harming your slate job?
I really don't know much about the Diamond leveling system.
--Jeff
If I'd have installed a 3 piece slate on this ProAm, yes I'd have lost the Diamond leveling system as it won't work with the 3 piece slate, so my choice was to take the hard way of doing things and cut the slate, and still be able to use the 26 point leveling system.
Once the slates put back together again, it's like it was never cut in half, so it all works out in the end, as I can still pick the slate up from the ends like it was a normal one piece slate![]()
Glen, you have no fear - you'd tackle anything. Is that bondo you used to seal the seam and screw holes?
Yep, it sure is. I'm breaking Zach in just right:grin:...no sense in starting him out soft when it comes to setting up Diamonds, these pictures are of the table install just before this one, and only Zach's second install:grin::grin:

Didn't have to cut the slate in half on this one, but still managed to get a Diamond 7ft ProAm up them stairs and into the house...but not before asking the owner if he wouldn't just rather change his hobby to playing darts instead of pool:grin:
Why is it possible to use the leveling system on a 2 piece slate but not a 3 piece?
Why can you pick the slate up from both ends now?
If both pieces are stuck back together now, won't that make it difficult to take out in the future?
Super job..... What type of blade did you have to use to get that clean of a cut ? A thin carbide, I'm assuming but I want the answer from the master.
What size holes did you drill and did you counter sink them ? Any particular screws ? Also what the other person asked, what did you use to fill the holes and seam ?
Then, you simply put it back together againGreat work Zach, you're learning like a sponge buddy, hope Arizona is going to be ready for you when you're finished with school
