Diamond Bar Box rail dimensions?

[ideologist]

My wife is looking to have our table redone with Diamond rails, tigetned up pockets, and Simonis. Is this possible? It is a Great American Billiard 700E table. I can get specific measurements of any part of the table if needed.


Are there any mechanics in/around western NY who can do this job?

Also, as the thread title states, if anyone knows the dimensions of the Diamond bar box rails, please let me know.

Thank you!

Diamond rails are 7" wide from the nose of the cushions to the outside edge of the rails. What else would you like to know?

I meant the dimensions on the playing area, ie. nose to where you glue them to the subrail.

Sorry, I guess I should have said "the dimensions of the cushions". Can you order them pre-cut or do they only come in certain lengths?

We are looking for a short-term playability upgrade on our current table and want it to be tighter and faster, which means no more Chamionship cloth and better cushions, pockets tightened to 4.25" or tighter [it's only a 7' table, so maybe tighter].

Essentially, a cheap Diamond bar box to last a couple years until we either move to where I can set up a Diamond 9/10' table, or just switch it out for a full-fledged Diamond 7'.

Your table uses a K66 profile cushion, Diamond's are a K55 profile, so they're not really interchangeable in that sence. Yes, your table can be made to play better than it does stock, but trying to fit to to be more like a Diamond is not really the way to look at it. Look at it more in the nature of modifying your table to play better, like replacing your cushions with Artemis K66 pool cushions, having the sub-rails extended to tighten the pockets, Simonis cloth...ect...
