My New Diamond Professional!

Ok. I'll guess.

The slate is amply supported at the perimeter and probably good like that for gravitational issues. Adding the beam, which might be trussed IDK, provides leveling adjustment and sufficient margin for any of the surmised gravitational issues.

I just wonder because the beam is heavy and the slate is heavy. The side and end are supported so the most likely area to sag would be the middle but there is no support there for the beam which supports the slate?
 
It’s probably a case of “it’s good enough”. Diamond tables have had their share of complaints over the years, however the slate sagging was never one of them.

So my question is if you put in a center beam why don't you support the beam.

Is it "floating" above the legs? If not, I'd guess there's an engineering answer in there that might relate to how trusses support weight.

No slide rule here!

The beams (3) are the support for the slate, they are anchored on both ends by the pedestals (feet) and are strong enough for the span between the pedestals.
If they had a problem with the table sagging in the middle then they would most likely change the beam. It’s like when you have a beam in your basement that is supported by columns. If you want to take out a column, maybe to put in a pool table, the size (or strength ) of the beam has to increase.

Hmm; the Diamond Professional leg pedestals used to be different. I wonder why they changed that (or maybe the old type are still available, too).

Read the entire thread. Hopefully you have a brain and can understand. With my Insomnia - I take Ambien - I was up all night Friday night, didn't get any sleep at all. Then after the 4.5 hour install that finished about 1:45 I was soooo tired and hungry I just couldn't hardly play. So, first things first. Which was to fix my lunch since I had not had anything to eat the whole day.

Delivery and installation is complete. I've only shot around about a minute because I am hungry and then need to run to Walmart and get some stuff so I don't have to go tomorrow. Might get to play on it later tonight.

The install took about 4.5 hours. Alot of good stories shared. Including the one about the bank robbery. Anyway, attached are some pics for verification for those that were in doubt.

I had never seen the cloth sprayed/glued before. Interesting to see that done. If you look close you can see DIAMOND engraved into the rails.

It seems you need to update your signature...

Congrats on the new table and happy belated birthday!

The disadvantage in starting with S07E10. I suggest you binge watch the previous seasons.
