leveling a table

[dmgwalsh]

Probably a dumb question, but how do I level my table?

when I slowly roll a cue ball from long rail to long rail it drifts at least a balls width. Anything I can do to fix it now? When I get it recovered down the road, i probably will have someone who knows what they are doing make sure everything is level but is there a quick fix I can do in the meantime?

does it have leg levelers?
if so raise the low side half a turn and roll the ball again...
if it dont have levelers
you need to place something under the low side leg
(old business cards,old playing cards,thin wood shims ....etc)
NO CARDBOARD as it will collapse more over time....

before you do any place a level on the table in all directions
check both ends and the length ....i assume it is a 3 piece slate
the reason to do this is if the 3 pieces are not level with each other it will never level out without diasassembly .....

i hope this helps

Not self leveling.

it's the slate in the kitchen.

There were already shims under the legs. Dennis Jaburek's crew put them in when I bought the table years ago. When I pounded them in to raise the back, now shots on the other two slates roll the other way.

I saw some other shims under the frame near the back slate. Can I pound them in and raise the back slate that way?

Dennis Jaburek's guys are absolute hacks, everyone I know who had work done by them are unhappy. When you are ready to get it recovered I'll give you Jerimy's #. You can ask Bert K how his work is. :thumbup:

I've met Bert and a few of his long time friends I know well and this is the Jeremy that they use.

Unfortunately, I think I have a few years to go before I get it recovered.

Yes that is him, the cell phone number is correct , the shop munber changed when he moved locations though. I'll let him know his mail box is full, shoot me a pm with your info and when I talk to him I'll forward over it to him.

Don't pound on the shims under the table. You can crack your slate or create a ridge between the slates.

Jeremy is great, the quality of work he does is phenominal, he just redid our second snooker table, and I have no qualms whatsoever.
