Depending on the brand/style of table, tightening your rails could have changed the level of the slate. If you loosen the rails, does it read good again?

 

[T-Dawg]

It reads good than 6 inches away off by one notch,than good and like that all over.is it the cloth,where it hasn`t opened up?

One notch or less from perfect with a starrett is within tolerance imo. Play on it and see what you think.

It plays allright,but it was perfect with a starret.I was just wondering if the cloth might be bunching or thinner till it fully expand,it`s only been a day.
:wink:

For what it's worth, my installer told me to play on the newly installed cloth for about 18 months and then call him if I had a complaint.

How does the table roll? What model & size starrett do you have? If it is the 199 it is way to accurate.

Seems to play ok,just installed yesterday,it`s a 98 8 inch starret.

Depending on how flat the rails are, installing them can change the level of the slates just to let you know, which is why a lot of times I install the rails before I install the bed cloth, then level the slates under the pressure of the rails installed first...then remove the rails, install the bed cloth, then re-install the rails and the level goes back to what it was before I took the rails off

That makes sence,it seems the presure could be forcing it out,but it plays well and nowhere over one notch,will the rails flex back out?Any sugestions as to a fix,Cobra?

Next time you recover the table...install the rails first, then level...otherwise...enjoy playing pool on it until the next time you change the cloth

To me,not a pro,I think that the rails are causing the slate to crown,everything was perfect before bolting the rails.Is this possible and can it be reversed?

 

[Dartman]

Wondering how tight you have the slate screws.

 

[T-Dawg]

All the slat screws are snug,not real tight.
