    Diamond Table Installation - Special Expertise Required?

I'm thinking it was around 03' or 04' because I sold the first one made as a coin op to Doc's Tavern over in Ocean Park, WA. We changed the Professionals to 45"×90" later...

    Pocket jigs

    Valley tables problem

    They're designed that way. The slant back at the bottom of the rail cap is designed to keep the rail blocks from sliding up if they come loose. You need to check the slate depth in the cabinet to make sure both slates are set at the correct depth, so the rails play the same.
