    Angle of the cuts on bumpers at the corner pocket mouths

    Regarding my last post, the cushion angle matched the wood frame angle, so the bevel square does accurately reflect the construction of the mouth.

    Angle of the cuts on bumpers at the corner pocket mouths

    The first picture shows the bevel square flush against the end rail and the return, that measures about 142 degrees. The second picture is the same bevel setting placed flush on the long rail of the same pocket, and that measures about 135 degrees. The gap at the opening is 3/16”. If I’m...

    Angle of the cuts on bumpers at the corner pocket mouths

    Update, the installer removed the rails and folded back the felt on a corner of the cushions to reveal that the schleps from AMF actually did make the pocket mouth cuts 7 degrees different. Interestingly, the fools managed to make the left side of each corner pocket the correct angle and the...

    Angle of the cuts on bumpers at the corner pocket mouths

    Points well taken. You folks know your stuff. Sometimes an old dog does better with not knowing what he doesn't know. Lesson here, you get what you pay for.

    Angle of the cuts on bumpers at the corner pocket mouths

    Will do on the pictures. Regarding cushion instead of rubber correction, further proof I'm a novice. But...I was, on my occassional good shot, hoping that the pockets would be more consistent.

    Angle of the cuts on bumpers at the corner pocket mouths

    On looking at the pockets carefully and using a bevel square, what you both say makes sense. Its probably a combination of manufacturer error and technician being less experienced. It's likely the store owner didn't want to go into detail on the quality control of the pocket angles. It would be...

    Angle of the cuts on bumpers at the corner pocket mouths

    Ok, disappointing and surprising but makes sense. Still, sliding your hand across the face of the opening from front to back should be a flat plane, shouldn't it. It isn't, it's concave.

    Angle of the cuts on bumpers at the corner pocket mouths

    First time posting. The angle on the corner pocket bumpers should be 142 degrees plus or minus 2 degrees, right? It would be ridiculous that AMF cut their openings 7 degrees different on opposing sides of the mouth, correct? Had my bumpers redone on my AMF Advantage table and the installer...
