No table is level. Some tables are level enough. Do balls roll off more than you feel is reasonable? If not, your table is fine.What is the best way to test if your table is level or not?
Very interesting - I’d love to see a video of that. Are they using 12-inch Starret machinist levels or something similar I assume? ThanksNo table is level. Some tables are level enough. Do balls roll off more than you feel is reasonable? If not, your table is fine.
If you want to fix your table, that's a different problem.
When Diamond installs multiple tables at tournaments, they use 18 short levels simultaneously. There are about 20 screw-driven wedges under the slate. They turns the screws until all the levels are happy. It takes about 20 minutes.

He does the video with a single 12-inch level. It goes a lot faster when he has a level sitting on each of the lines.
IIRC they level prior to shipping. Getting them re-leveled at the venue goes pretty quik. They set 'em up at DCC pretty darn quick.He does the video with a single 12-inch level. It goes a lot faster when he has a level sitting on each of the lines.
I suppose he shows the 1-level method so as not to scare off the typical viewer. If you have to level a bunch of tables quickly more equipment helps. The reason that Diamond got the table contract for the US Open 9-Ball (Matchroom in Las Vegas) is that they are the only company that can install and level 32 tables in the time the casino lets them have the room. The one-piece slate and the leveling system are the keys to that.
I drop a ball from a low height so that just the edge of it clips the rail. That sends it rolling straight and you can then tell if it rolls off. I try it from each rail.
