flush trimming top of bumpers

[TheTablePro]

When I had my table set up (Bluegrass Billiards, Nashville), they set the cushion lower than the rail so that if you were shooting off the cushion your cue would actually scrape the edge of the rail. The store who sold me the table sent them back. I told the mechanic he wasn't leaving until it was right. That was stupid. He packed his tools back up and left without fixing the table he messed up.

Measure from the bed of your table to the nose of the cushion. It should be 1-7/16". If it is, then I would guess they set the feather strip too low in the dado cut and not flush with the rail top. Easy fix with new rail cloth and perhaps new feather strips if they were too small for the cut.

Yeah, I'm thinking it has a lot to do with the large amount of swimming pool and spa guys in our area just "trying to get through the winter" by doing pool table sales (Chinese junk) and services while having absolutely no clue what they're doing. They are doing nothing but flooding our market area with chinese trash tables for US to have to try to work on later. To me they're worth less than the pallet they are shipped in on.

That's been the case in most of the larger city areas I've worked in where those part time table dealers exist and are in survival mode during winter months in their off season. Unfortunately, they saturate the market with them!

I ended up taking the rails to the store and went and picked them up a week later. All this to play with my brand new commercial grade table (9' AMF Grand Prix).
