here's some pictures of a 7-foot Brunswick home table. We replaced the simonis, superspeed cushions, pockets and tighten the pockets.

I used bass wood, you can buy them in increments of 1/16". I also used Diamond Billiards facing, if you haven't used them you should check them out.

Nice job.
Did you recommend Simonis 300 to make the table even faster? LOL
 
I assume you glue and then staple down the wood facing onto the subrail, and then cut for a perfect fit. What did you use to cut the wood with? Like a hand saw or electric saw, etc.?
 
I use a drywall saw that has an removeable blade. And replaced it with a fine tooth blade, then cleaned up with files.
 
saw

Anybody ever use a jamb saw? This works awesome. I got a Bosch and it is really handy.It was 150.00, but was well worth it. Thanx, Ron

I actually own one of those! Thanks for the info.

Do you think Red Oak would be an adequate candidate for the subrail extension?

I used basswood and have heard of people using mahogany plywood. You might want to ask the Cobra.

The wood extension works as a spacer to give the rail rubber something to glue to, it's not there for strength. I don't recommend using Oak, as a hardwood it'll split if you try and staple it with a pin nailer or 1/4" crown staples. Glue helps, but keep in mind, you're attaching it to the end grain of the sub-rail, and end grain wood doesn't hold glue very well. A soft wood, or plywood works the best.

You just answered a discussion that an installer in Ohio and I were arguing over this weekend.
Thanks!
