Tough loss to H.J Kim in last 16..
Play 3.1 and out... Bury played little better.

When I first started cutting my threads with live tooling I would do a test piece from a maple off cut. I would then cut it in half to inspect the threads and check the fit around the pin. With good tooling and not cutting it all out in one pass you can achieve a pretty clean result. What I found about wood threads though is they get tighter and looser depending on the season. Phenolic inserts are not as elegant, but they seem to maintain size better.

I drove every year I went. The drive to a restaurant was a pain in the butt. I only did it a couple times if that. Plus, if you need a bite before a match, it’s not possible even if you had a helicopter.

Are you treating the wood before cutting, or is this just raw maple?

the table played somewhat slow.

I wondered if this might be the case... I'm hoping to learn a LOT more about these tables, in the coming weeks. Interestingly enough, the Sales Sheet, on the Olhausen website states that the tables use "tournament standard" 1 7/16" nose height. I'm not aware of any manufacturer that uses specifically 1 7/16" nose height, so I'm curious where this 1 7/16" "tournament standard" comes from.

That said, Olhausen has typically used 1 1/2" thick rails, for most of their tables. With that, the correct nose height for a K66 Accu-Fast cushion would be 1 3/8". The only way that they could get away with using 1 7/16" nose height, without slowing the rebound, would be to increase the thickness of the rails. I'm curious what dimensions they used, for rail/sub-rail thickness.

Not that any of it matters... It looks like a nice table. And, it looks like Olhausen is trying to reenter the tournament fold. Good for them!
