This is not a "what do you think of it, or should I buy something else" post. I was gifted a 6-sided chalk holder for Christmas last year and that person is coming to visit in 10 days. I have not bought any chalk yet for it and figured I may want to do that now to show I am getting some use out...
But anyone who's had played on an Olhausen especially me being from an area where there was only table seller within a 100 radius and he exclusively sold Olhausen, will know that 145° cut pockets play like junk. Cut them to 141° and 12-14° down and they will significantly improve the way it...
A dual bevel miter saw, a good digital angle finder and the video I linked below are what I used. if it's an Olhausen I'd recommend thicker facings since accufast rubber is softer and will compress more at the facings. If he extends the subrails with wood then he will need to do the math to know...

I have considered that video but couldn't justify the cost for just myself since the table has been a bit of a money pit already. There is a plethora of resources on YouTube and the web in general that are pretty good, I just need to adapt it in being able to do it with the thick facings, this...
My reputation is preceeding me: I need MORE advice on how pros would do these pockets
Most of you that frequent this section know my story. If not the short version is I did a table restore project (just a DIY guy) and although did really good on a lot of it, I screwed up and put my rail...
