K66 vs. K55

Why are you wanting to mount K55 rubber on a table cut for K66?
Dimensions:
Looks like at minimum you'd lose 1/8" of playing surface but I'm not sure what the difference in nose height would be. You may need to provide rail thickness to get an accurate estimate. Someone more knowledgeable on the topic would have to chime in.

Without the rails being modified, balls won't be staying on the table for long, K55 has an 1/8" lower nose height compared to K66.
Thanks. I'm still trying to figure out why someone would want to install K55 on K66 rails.
Don't know what they're doing is the most common answer.

I am having an issue getting the nose height of the rails down to between 1 3/8" & 1 7/16" above table top with K66 rubber. They end up a little high no matter what I do to lower them. They are about 1/8" to high.
What table?
Not what size table, what make, what's the manufacturer?
Which K66 cushion?
Don't matter, all K66 have an 1/8" higher nose height compared to the K55 profile cushions.
It matters if he thinks Artemis Intercontinental No. 66 are K66.
If he had them, and was checking the nose height, the nose wouldn't be an 1/8" to high. He's trying to put K66 cushions on a rail designed for K55, thus the 1/8" to high of a nose height.

Pacesetter tables.
6 rail, or one piece ring rail?
Lift the slate and remove all the shims under it, lower it back in the cabinet, then bolt the rails down and check the nose height then.

I have lifted the slate, cleaned all the glue off the bottom and top, recovered it and the K66 rails are still 1/8" to high. I have to conclude that all Pacesetter tables use the K55 rails not the K66 rubber rails. Next time the tables are recovered I will use K55 rubber and it will turn out correct.
