I cant believe with a hard stroke the balls wont hop all over the table. Diamond cushions are k55 and amf uses k66. You can use the diamond cushions but the rails need to be modified to accept them correctly. It has probably shrunk your playing area as well.

The head of the rail bolt did not twist off from tightening it down. When the table was taken apart that particular bolt was stripped into the t-nut that is placed between the subrail and cap. So the only way to get the rail off was to cut the bolt head off. The t-nut has come loose so trying to...

If you put a screw through it you don't have to worry about it popping.

I don't know how others would like this but i use to different size masonry bits and drill a hole near center and put a screw into crossbeam to hold slate even then super glue. and fill hole obviously

Why is it on this forum the most long winded opinionated posters are "I'm no table mechanic but". If the right wax is used and used PROPERLY it works very well. When bondo is used it works well also. What i've learned about using wax over the years is you can't use it from a craft store or...

If the seams have been superglued there is nothing wrong with using wax if its been used properly. There is nothing wrong with bondo either. I like bondo for large chips or finishing off a broken slate fix but for just finishing a seam i like to use wax. Its a personal preference i think. What...

Ok. I couldn't imagine you were talking about the blocks. If you are using worsted cloth it definitely like the others have said the levelness of the slate. Always unscrew the slate to add shims. If you are using home cloth, unless the slate is very unlevel it may be something else. maybe divots...

That is what i thought. The monarch cushions threw me for a loop though. Those old cushions were in excellent shape by the way.

The slate screw pushed the block away from the liner rather than sinking into it but the top liner will hold the screw just fine. What moves when you rack the balls? If its those blocks that is odd. If so just remove the blocks and wait for you next recovery to resecure them and resecure the...

They are bolted to the top of the slate.;) I'm joking I'm Joking do you mean cushions or the actual rails.

Riddle me this. Which GC did i just move and recover(860 grey bed and red rails:eek:) with adjustable feet and floating nut plates and brunstone AND MONARCH CUSHIONS? oh yea and the miserable plastic ball return cover.

No. Its just been pushed away from the top liner by the slate screw. It shouldn't ever cause you any problems.

When you put the table back together make sure you drill out the slate backing through the slate screw holes. I learned with dlt tables very quickly that the slate screws only feel so tight because they don't drill out the backing after they put it on so they are actually only tight through the...

poolanddarts.com. Muellers has some of the best wood featherstrips, in my opinion of course. They should fit just right.

I try to never have to use it, but a store in town that we use to do alot of installs for would only use 865 because its the cheapest. Sometimes it seemed very thin and it would stretch for days and i remember customers complaining about how quickly it would get holes. He actually replaced a few...

Have you used much 865 personally. The 865T is ok but the 865 has gotten more complaints then any cloth i've ever done. Do you like the 10820. I think that is the best home cloth though not as available as the 865 or 865T. Also, a good thread to ask i presume. Has any body used the mali worsted...

It was a 1965 fischer 1pc. I knew that imperial sounded fimiliar but it was actually a empire VIII fischer. We recovered it for the first time since 65. Cushions were good master fasts. The women was getting the table for her 20 year old son who is mentally challenged and he was so excited about...

she was told its a 1pc slate and how old she says it is i am pretty certain its not a imperial table. I for some reason think that a old fischer table has imperial tagged on the end but not sure. I'm taking a 3rd man just to be safe. Doing it tomorow its the 2nd 1pc in a week and i'm still...
