An update and important question:
The angles, without facings are inconsistent. Some nitwit must have had the chop saw set incorrectly.
End rail number 1: Right end (holding wood towards me, rubber away)is 142.3 degrees, left is is 145.4.
End rail 2: Right end is 142.4, left is 145.4.
So around 3 degrees difference between sides on a single end rail, both rails. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the whole table is like this, all right sides are probably 142, all left 145.
So what's the solution? I want them consistent, should I take them all to the same angle (145ish) before attempting to put facings?
I'm assuming starting with 3 degrees difference will effect play. I could adjust consistency and make the angle right with the facing, but then the thickness varies on each facing. I want the table to play as good as I can get it without doing subrail extensions or new cushions. If it's better to just make the difference with the facing, I can probably deal with the inconsistent rebound if the angles are the same. It's not great but it has to be better than it is now with wildly different angles lol.
I already knew it but I'm getting a new respect for table mechanics. I can handle the situation but would definitely appreciate any advice.
