    Horizontal slate placement on truck for transportation?

    In the video link I posted before regarding slate cart, at 0:20 it shows Gabriel slates being transported flat on a pallet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZc0MTnsIIk Now I understand their “slates” are some type of granite - presumably much harder than the typical slate. I was wondering if...

    Quiet air compressor

    For those who still staple cloth: are you using quiet compressor? If so, what brand & model? I have at least half a dozen of compressors used in my construction business - all of which are super loud when use inside customer homes. We now just leave them outside or in the garage - for...

    Gold crown III carom corners

    I just put back the cast aluminum corners for the first time. After tightening all the connecting bolts, the corner bottoms are flushed with the rail bottoms. That made the top higher than the rail top almost 1/4”. Is that by design, or something is wrong? If not by design, how should it...

    Carom cushion P37 profile question

    Hello pros. I was wondering what’s the half-circle recess in the back of the cushion meant for? Is it meant to be open or filled with mating “tongue”? I saw that Gabriel’s subrail profile has the tongue. But other subrails for K66 or k55 profiles are just flat. I’m making a router bit...

    Speed and quality of play of a table in regard to slate thickness

    Morning all. I’d like to know if there’s any study / proof on the effect of the slate’s thickness to how fast/how good a table plays in carom games. I know tables with 50/60mm slates would make them rock solid. No one can move them accidentally. But other than that, what are other major...

    Royal Pro vs Buffalo Royal Plus

    I’m not sure which cloth is out first, which is better. I have the RP installed at home and I like it. But I’m a beginner (start playing 3C and only score once in a while). When I went to Colombia, I got introduced to Buffalo (they are not made in Colombia). They also have Royal in their...

    Used Gabriel’s Imperator V value

    Hello AZB. Hope everyone’s having a great start of the year. I know there isn’t a “blue book” for used tables. So how to determine fair market values for used tables, other than how much one’s willing to pay for it? There’s a 5 year old Gabriel’s Imperator in great shape that I’m curious...
