3 3/4” corners?

There's a bunch of tables up and down CA that are setup like that.

It looks like we were both right:) See this thread. I can't believe I remember this stuff from 10 years ago but can't remember what day of the week it is:)

WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Pocket Cut

Maybe Nathan will confirm or correct. 3 7/8" is what has been talked about here for quite a few days. This was mentioned in another thread, so I figured I'd just start a new one. Pocket cuts are like aiming systems as it seems people are very defensive about them, but I figured I'd explain my...

The idea is full range pocket speed so why have facings at all. With no jaws, virtually the full range of cue ball control will still be available. Half assed player prep withstanding. Ok, mechanic prep too...

I dont see “parralel “ facings in that drawing
just 90 degrees

The line that says 3 3/16, draw a 90 degree angle from that. That gives you 45 degrees from the cushion. If you do that from both sides you'll see parallel lines for the pocket face.
 
@bbb

It's because the Zero degree line is the long direction of the cushion where the cushion attaches to the wood rail. Also on this drawing many miter saws call the 90 line 90 degrees on their scale. Which would make this a 135 degree cut on the miter saw. Yet, other miter saws call that 90 degree line in this drawing zero degrees on their scale. In which case this cut on that saw's scale would be 45 degrees. It's all arbitrary, it just depends on what you chose to call the "zero" degree line.

Thanks alot iusedtobevrich ….👍👍
i read garczar’s post before i read yours
 
Maybe this will help, maybe it will add more confusion. The drawing is not to scale but you get the idea.

Each cushion is 180° that forms a 90° angle when they intersect. Half of 90° is 45° so, each side of the pocket is a 45° angle. If the opposing angles (each side of the pocket) equal 180°, the mirror image will be in parallel. In this instance, the starting angle is 45°. With a pocket opening angle at 135° it creates a parallel to it's mirror image because 135°+ 45° = 180°.

Nah, I just pointed it out. The other guys did the teaching, I’m way too lazy! 🤣

Good stuff.

Yeah, I ain't too sharp with the math. When it comes to pi's and such I favor strawberry or peach. I just remember to get back where I started from I have to go three hundred and sixty degrees. Ninety is gone to begin with, leaves two-seventy. Split down the middle that leaves one hundred thirty-five degrees to each side. When I start all of that sinning and cosinning and such I need to go to confession and since I am over fifty years past due it's going to take some time when I do go!

I vaguely recall the long side is called the hippopotamus and this smart snake apparently came up with some rules about it all, called python’s theorem.

I think the sinning is ok, as long as the cosinner is also ok with it all. Consensual love triangles etc…
