JMM billet pool racks

[JolietJames]

The racks are designed and machined in our shop in TN. They are made from 6061 aluminum and given a powder coat protective finish.
We have not yet advertised the racks, so most of our sales have been local.

Our racks have been a favorite of the straight pool players due to their slim design with their sides being right around 1/4" thick.

Inventory is currently low but we have a batch returning from powder coat Friday that will be available to ship next week.
Plain black racks are $100 shipped in the lower 48 through December1st.
The designed racks are $120 shipped.

We also have some early designs with a cerakote coating.
They have a matte black finish. The company that coated them did not do a good enough job for us to put them in our store.
The finish is not good enough to warrant full price. On these we can do $80 shipped. Message for availability and pictures.

We have also made some custom racks for a local sports team and pool room so if anyone is interested in personalized racks, let me know.

Other pics show the difference between the slim rack and a Diamond plastic rack.

The pointed one on the right, could it score the fabric if dropped?

There is a .020" chamfer machined along the outside edge. It gets a bit more rounded with the roughly .003-.005" thick powder coat.
A local room has been using them on their tables since July and has not mentioned any issues.
I imagine if a corner is slammed onto the table it will push down harder than a plastic rack will which could cause a problem.

My first table was a cheap 8' American Heritage with Simonis 760.
I left the light on over the table one night and the plastic shades melted and fell onto the cloth, slicing it clean through.
I had too high wattage bulbs in the light. Lesson learned. Even a light plastic shade can cut cloth.

looks like there's not much room in back for fingers. kinda like the D style myself.

They are tighter than the Diamond rack but I can rack like normal.
I'll try to get a pic with my greedy fingers in there when I get home.

With the rounded corners, hopefully the metals not too heavy.

You make a good point. I will weigh each style and update the info.
Only the non-machined racks have been reported to be heavier than expected.
I suppose that could be due to some having used the light extruded aluminum racks like the Delta in the past.
