How to check if a table is setup correctly

Agree with Fuggles. Advice to pay for a good mechanic makes sense if you live in a metro area where there are some. The nearest to us is 60 miles away and over a pass, so they want $120 in travel before they even show up, if they are willing to work that day.

Nothing about pool tables is rocket science. A careful, fastidious worker with a few tips and maybe some remote help should be able to do an adequate job for a remote area. If someone complains they can help next time. Save the good mechanics for working on tables where their skill will make a difference to the better players and tournaments.

Rocket Science is not hard either is you know rocket science. Installing a pool table correctly is difficult even if you have educational resources for a guide.

If he shows up and the slate is outside of the frame, this is a bad sign.

Depends on where it’s coming from and where it’s going. Most homes have at least a couple of steps. Mine showed up in a nice enclosed trailer, very experienced guy. Slate was secured to a built in rack. We carried the legs in, then the cabinet, then the slate. Table mechanic did not carry anything but his tools. I had plenty of muscle, as promised. We just did what he said. He tweaked it a little, whole job took less then an hour. Table played perfect, for years.

Simonis 860 must be installed with the correct side up ( I think is is the smooth)...Go to AZB forum TALK TO A MECHANIC. You can find that information there...plus many other question you need answered but don't know to ask.

Thanks, good to know since I am looking to replace my cloth with that early next year, maybe when they get their supply issues figured out. Simonis puts out a $20-some video on how to install their cloth. Does anyone know if that sort of thing is covered there? Is it worth getting the video?
