i'm a bonafide do-it-yourselfer and i've done some incredible things by myself with no help what so ever. so now, i'm setting up yet another pool table by myself and doing a lot of cursing. i leveled the center slate first then got the head slate but then i couldn't get the foot slate level because the ball was rolling toward the center of the table so the end had to come down. to do that i had to lower the feet and that made the other two slates uneven. (note that i'm doing this with a woodworking level and by rolling a ball. i'm going to buy a precision level soon which will save me a lot of aggravation and time... my god the time.... i worked all day on this table today and yesterday.) sooo, i lowered the foot slate with the adjustable feet to get it level then the center slate and then the head slate and that worked, I THINK... i did the ball roll about a thousand times from all angles. rolling that ball gets GD obsessive. a little roll-off there and a minor adjustment here and then you have to make sure that you didn't throw the other slates off. wow....
is it safe to say that they now machine slate more precisely than they did in the 70's because even though i lack experience, these old tables seem inferior....
