Diamond construction question?

[TrxR]

Does Diamond use any particle board or mdf in the construction of their Professional or Pro-Am? If so where?

 

[trentfromtoledo]

The only mdf I have ever seen on a Diamond were the legs of the Professional, they had a nice veneer on them though, from looking you would never know. Pretty sure the last Pro Model I delivered and installed the legs were plywood w/ oak veneer. None on the Pro am, although it's "box" construction is plywood and laminate on the outsides.

What about particle board? Are the rails solid wood on the oak or maple tables? I had someone mention they used particle board where you stapled the cloth to.

Rail cores of Diamonds are Ash and Oak butcher block, and the subrails are Poplar.

Glue should be used on Diamonds, not staples.

why?

Diamond says to do it that way. I see no sense going against a manufacturer's advice.

Dont get yourself all bent around with the wrong info. The rail cloths are stapled, from the factory....

You are correct. I thought we were talking about the bed cloth. I am old and easily confused.
