Does anyone know what the sub-rail thickness is on a Gabriel carom table.

Does anyone know what the sub-rail thickness is on a Gabriel carom table.

Ben,

Are you referring to the new metal rails they are currently producing or the older wooden rail?

Gabriels use a 4 face p-37 profile Kleber or Artemis cushion. Since the shelf on the bottom of the liner helps secure the cushion to the liner, you need to allow 32.5 mm from the bottom of the cushion to the flush point of the top of the rail liner.

I hope this is what you were referring to. If you need any additional measurements I could pull a set of rails and take dimensions from them. You can also call Rudy at Gabriels, keep in mind they are 5 hrs ahead of us in Holland.

Hope this helped
Jay.

Ben,

Were you able to get the info you were looking for? By the way it was nice talking to you the other day. I did take some measurements off the SAM's I was working on, which is also a P-37 profile with a metal rail, very similar to the Gabriel's.

Ben,

Here is a link to Ron Kilby's site I told you about on the phone.
