No, over tightening is what's going to cause the damage.
So tighting this bolt to 15lbs? I see 8 on the long rail and 4 on the short.
That will not mess up the level right?
I dont want to mess up the level and be up a creek with
no Diamond mechanics in sight.

Thanks for the pic! I think using a rubber washer would stop the dome washer from indenting on the wood somewhat. Have to try it and see what the results are.

When I assisted in the leveling of the table during install, it was just the bolts in the legs that were adjusted.
Yes, those are them that I set at 15.
I can't comment on "any kind of table," as I don't know what configuration they would present. But I know that for GC's the washers aren't tightened against the bottom of the rails. I don't know about Diamonds but I suspect the same is so.
What's your point?
JOB> WORK> That is the point. While this may be entertainment for you, we work and you like wasting peoples time with silly and obvious things.

CLASSY RIGHT?:thumbup:
When you actually start working on pool tables, you'll figure out what that washer is used for.
I'm never going to be working on pool tables for a living. And, I don't know which washer "that washer" refers to.
Trent, you are welcome to ignore my comments going forward - in fact, I wish you would. How anyone on the internet can waste someone's time is beyond me, in fact, it's a ridiculous position. Just ignore me, go past it, and your precious time will be preserved.
Damn dude, read the pictures in post 65#
The guy is using the forum to burn time. Kind of like slatemate in the mechanics section. My life revolves around pool( working on tables, selling them, buying them, researching it and playing it) and I spend quite a bit of time on this site while at the shop and home. We get these types every so often. They need JOBS. They try to simply ask questions and then act like they already knew or completely have no idea what you are talking about. Lame.

P.S. Jviss, I truly try very hard to ignore you, but, when it gets ridiculous I am gonna say something whether you like it or not.
I did! That's the same washer as appears the Brunswick. It's a domed washer with a non-slip feature against the wood and (probably) an internal toothed locking feature on top (for the bolt). It's primary feature, a product of the dome, is to maintain tension across materials that vary in thickness (marginally) with changes in temperature and humidity.
(I thought you may have been referring to some other kind of washer that was against a rail.)

I am puzzled as to why you find it necessary to insult me. It makes the AZB forum experience less pleasant than it could be.
Thanks for that! Here's an interesting quote:
"When assembling, reinstall the rail bolts and torque to 20-25lb-ft. See picture below for bolt locations."
That's a lot more torque than I've seen recommended here. I'm inclined to go with Glenn's recommendation!
GC IV with the dome washers .. noticed long rails aren't aligned properly, won't roll true past the side pocket on one side. Can I loosen the rail bolts and use a long level across side pocket to align cushions on either side and then just tighten them back up or am I out of my league. Also torque specs on bolts .. Thanks!!
