Leveling a Gold Crown II - after the cloth is on?
- Thread starter md5key
- Start date
The leg leveler's will allow you to make adjustmments to the frame's level but you cannot adjust the slates that much at all without risking possible seperation of the joints of the slate.
What do the balls do? Do they always roll to one side? Do they roll to the middle when you slow roll it down the rail?

Towards one corner it's like that corner is a little low. I don't really notice it as much at the other end of the table, but I do notice it a little on the corner across from the one that the ball rolls toward. I'd say with a slow rolling ball the line gets off maybe 1/2".. I looked at the leg levelers but I don't see how to adjust them - is there a tutorial or manual I can use??
Thanks for the help!

level out your higher side that's low,then bring your lowest corner up to match.
I tend to set my knees under the frame and sit where I can see the level, and use my feet to take the weight off while turning the feet.
Or get someone to do one or the other.
Rick (Dartman) can help you out with getting materials and probably point you in the right direction for anybody in your area that can do the work, if you haven't already looked in the directory :http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=54305&page=6

At the corner that is low, look at the leg leveller. If they have a hole through the center of the threaded rod in the foot, put a screwdriver through there and turn it. Should turn to the left to raise the table at that corner.
If there is no hole in the rod, you'll have to take just enough weight off that leg to turn the foot. If you're looking down on top of the foot, you should turn it clockwise to raise it.
If the ball is only rolling out 1/2" or so over the length of the table, you might only need to give it a quarter turn or so, so don't over do it. You won't want to lift that table any more than you have to, even just taking the weight off like that. Good luck!

I guess I didn't specify to not just lift the table, I just take some of the weight off to make things easier to turn. Sometimes you encounter those tables with bent bolts or cross threaded feet that are a bit of a pain to turn under normal circumstances. I just get in the habit of preparing for those, especially without seeing what you are working with.
And Josh is right, it doesn't take much to adjust, just little increments can change pretty quickly.
Thanks for the reminder Josh!:thumbup:
