That's not confusing at all.Yup. The Artemis Intercontinental No. 66 are K55 profile. The Pool No. 66 are K66 profile.
It's great to see the project in action again, can't wait to see the end result.

That's really confusing: so there are 2 Artemis products: the n°66 and the International n°66 with 2 different profiles (k66 and k55)Sorry, but those cushions are not the K55 profile, they're the K66 profile, and won't work with the 22.5 degree bevel if those rails are 1 3/4" thick.
Nice job, what will be your top rail profile, flat or convex?
I went looking a little further ...That's really confusing: so there are 2 Artemis products: the n°66 and the International n°66 with 2 different profiles (k66 and k55)
I'll keep working with what I've got.

Correction, the Artemis pool K66 is not the same as the Intercontinental model 66. The Pool is K66, the Model 66 is the K55 profile. No where does it say K55 on the Intercontinental no.66 cushions.Yes and I seen K66 with K55 profile and they are identified or estamped K66 not K55.
Yes it's exactly what I want to say, in others words formulation, English is not my first language, I try to make my best!Correction, the Artemis pool K66 is not the same as the Intercontinental model 66. The Pool is K66, the Model 66 is the K55 profile. No where does it say K55 on the Intercontinental no.66 cushions.
That's because the Intercontinental is a billiards cushion, so you're looking in the wrong direction!!I went looking a little further ...
I just found this: the first mention of the 2 different Artemis profiles together.
Now it all starts making sense

checking some European webshops: there's not much to find about the International 66, none I can find talks about 2 different types.
But since Brunswick is not the main pool brand around here, it"s kinda logical.
Lesson learned ...
YupSo Artemis makes K66 which is a K66 profile and they make Intercontinental K66 which is K55 profile??
Why the international k55 profile is not good for him, his project is pocket billard pool.....That's because the Intercontinental is a billiards cushion, so you're looking in the wrong direction!!
Who said the K55 profile was wrong for him?Why the international k55 profile is not good for him, his project is pocket billard pool.....

What that means is, if you're looking for pool cushions, you're not going to run across the Intercontinental no.66 cushions, because they fall under billiards cushions. But because they have a K55 profile, Diamond uses them, and are the only manufacturer doing so.That's because the Intercontinental is a billiards cushion, so you're looking in the wrong direction!!

This is what I got:

and this is the one making it confusing.
This product is only to be found on billards accessory pages, not pool table accessory pages
View attachment 711267
Some extra confusion on the profile is that there is more than one billiards rubber profile:
We learned in above thread there is that 66-profile for billiards, but there are also 2 others: a 79-profile and a 37-profile. Both similar in shape te each other but a little different in dimensions. The 37-profile seems to be the "professional" one, even with a special edition endorsed by Raymond Ceulemans.

So, today I learned something new about pool and billiard table rubber profiles
I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do
Yes, chamfered is the proper word. It's really cool to see this coming together.Let me start with a promise: after this, you won't hear anything from me for the next 4 weeks.
my boss asked me to switch shifts this weekend, so I got to play in the workshop again.
I got some nice things done...
Last time with the rubbers attached I measured the total width of the rails: 8 inches.
That's just to wide, I cut one inch off today.
I re-routed the groove in the back again (later there will be an angled cut, the same angle as the legs, for attaching the skirts)
I also pre-routed the groove for the featherstrip. This is not yet perfect and not yet the right depth and width, but it's there now ...making sure for an easier cut next time.
Then I cut 4 rails to lenght: 2 short, 2 long

Laying them out, with the rubbers attached with painter's tape.
It's becoming real, not a dream anymore
View attachment 712235
I've got the width spot on: 127cm = 50 inches
View attachment 712236
the length needs some work, but close ...
should be 100 inches = 254 cm

I don't like pointy corners, I don't like rounded corners, I like chamfered (is this the right word?).
I'm using an angled cut-out from the leftover piece of rail to use as attachment piece and eventually make a solid rail all around.

There's still so much to do, but I've got time ... although not in the next month
