Starrett 8 or 12

I totally get that longer levels reduce knowing the truth. I also get that shorter levels can drive a person nuts.

If we're talking about brand new or well kept 20 year old tables, that's one thing, but what about an old T-Rail that didn't have levelers and machining wasn't 21st Century, maybe not even 20th.

Lastly, Is Slate that flexible I need to worry about avoiding pins.
Your description sounds like a leveler can telegraph its position and throw off a reading.

Ask yourself this, how wide of an area is the shim placed in one spot, going to effect? Is it only right at the shim spot, or could that shim effect 3'ft left and right of that shim as well?

S o you're saying pool slate is like thin steel. Push here you get this, there get that.
Always looked at 50 or 60mm slate as stable.
Thx for pointing out that slate is way more flexible than I thought.

He didn't say anything of the sort. Just like normal, he actually said nothing at all.

That's how you see it. I think he's a blowhard who says garbage like the above when he doesn't have an answer.

It's like his cushion nose 'formula'. A+B=C... He never defined the variables, wouldn't give a straight answer about how the angles affect it. He sells snake oil and many buy it.

He spent hours on the phone with me as I was installing my table. Never tried to take a dime from me. In fact, he refused to tell me how I could pay him when I asked.

I'm happy for you. I would slam my junk in a car door before talking to him.

Sometimes you only need to move slate by the few thousands of an inch to make a change in level.

Would you like me to break down the explanation of that formula for you in baby talk, so you might have a better chance of understanding it, If so, just ask. I aim to please, even if it means working one on one with the Special Ed kids in the class!

I'm positive that you don't have the physics knowledge required to back up any explanation you give, so, yeah, I'm up for a laugh.
 
In order to set the nose height of the cushions, you must know what bevel is needed to place the nose of the cushion at that nose height, wouldn't you agree?
 
If you don't answer, how will I know if you're learning anything? So this is kind of like question and answer learning!
 
Or do you honestly believe all rails use the same subrail bevel and all rails share the same nose height? This is where it's YOUR turn to respond, or I'm just wasting my time!!
 
Come on buddy, this is YOUR chance to shine and prove to the world that I don't know shit, and you exposed me for the snake oil sales person that I am, show how smart YOU are!!!
