Diamond

2 Questions:
1) How many tables does Diamond produce in a month?
2) After they installed a 9' Professional & left, I ran a ball down the rail and it curved toward the rail. It was flat prior to torquing the rail bolts down. Now it's crowned.
What is the proper way to fix it and how should it have been done the first time so this wouldn't happen? I do know they torqued it to 15 'lbs with an electronic gauge.
Thanks in advance.
Dave

It's my understanding that leveling is actually supposed to be done with the rails bolted down first. I'm pretty sure Cobra explained it that way to me. When you think about it, the side rails are all one piece so the slate is first pulled up to them, then you level the rest.

Torque the rails before leveling. If you don't it changes level and you will have roll offs.

Thank you everyone.

Wrong, level the body first, then tighten the rails, then adjust with the leveling system. Tightening the rails before the body has been leveled will hold the table frame to the level of the floor and you won't be able to level the frame afterwards.

Very true. I was talking slate only. I didn't think to say this but I was assuming the body was already leveled... one should not assume such things.
