What Details Should Be Noted When Installing The Edge Of A Billiard Table?

The installation of a billiard table must strictly control five key points: precise leveling of the moisture-proof edge of the pocket, zero deviation of the steel pocket hole position, the horizontal error of the stone plate not exceeding 1mm, the elastic speed of the rubber strip meeting the standard, and standardized bag opening size. Professional installation can improve the accuracy of hitting the ball by 30%.

When installing the edge of a billiard table, five key details need to be focused on: material compatibility, structural stability, leveling accuracy, rubber strip treatment, and professional operation standards. The specific analysis is as follows:

 

1. Material compatibility: Select the right edge of the warehouse and steel warehouse

Material selection for the edge of the warehouse

The climate is humid. Materials with good moisture-proof performance (such as hard molded thickened leather) should be given priority to avoid deformation of the warehouse edge due to changes in humidity. If there is unevenness at the connection between the edge of the warehouse and the steel warehouse, it is necessary to check whether the wooden side is deformed. Minor deformation can be flattened by external force and then the screws should be tightened.

Inspection of the steel warehouse structure

The holes in the steel warehouse and the wooden side must be strictly aligned. If the hole position is deviated, the hole position of the wooden side or the stone slab support should be slightly adjusted based on the hole position of the steel warehouse or the stone slab. If necessary, re-drill the hole. When installing, it is necessary to ensure that the elasticity of the steel silo meets the standard (4-5 silos for long silos and 4.5-5.5 silos for short silos), and verify it through the elastic silo test.

 

2. Structural stability: Tightening and leveling

Fixed method at the edge of the warehouse

Fix the edge of the warehouse with reinforced screws to ensure that each connection point is securely fastened. If the heights of the table legs are inconsistent, the highest leg should be used as the reference. By placing leg pads or adjusting the large frame, the level should be adjusted to avoid hitting the ball deviates due to unstable structure.

Adjustment of the straightness of the edge of the warehouse

After installation, a level should be used to check the straightness of the edge of the warehouse to ensure there is no bending or loosening. If there are wrinkles at the junction of the edge of the pocket and the table surface, the table surface should be re-pasted and the edge tightened to prevent it from affecting the ball control and movement.

 

3. Leveling accuracy: The coordination between the stone slab and the edge of the warehouse

Stone slab leveling techniques

When leveling the stone slabs, the principle of "adjusting the legs first, then the adjustment seat" should be followed. Use a level to check if the joints of the stone slabs are even, and achieve precise leveling by placing shims or adjusting seats. If the hole position of the stone slab support is incorrect, it needs to be fine-tuned based on the hole position of the stone slab.

The edge of the warehouse connects with the stone slabs

After the installation at the edge of the warehouse, it is necessary to check whether the connection with the stone slab is tight. If the rubber strip at the bag opening collapses, it might be that the wooden band pressed against the Bonnie during installation. You need to adjust the position of the wooden band or reattach the rubber strip.

 

4. Adhesive tape treatment: Elasticity and adhesion

Rubber strip elasticity test

When loading into the magazine, the rubber strip should have a sense of acceleration and not move in the opposite direction (it should follow a zigzag route). If the adhesive tape comes apart, the old glue must be thoroughly removed and then re-adhered to ensure a firm bond.

Adjustment of the rubber strip at the bag opening

If the size of the bag opening does not match, the standard size can be achieved by adjusting the steel pocket or the small side left and right. If you need to expand the bag opening, you can place a cushion between the No. 1 small side and the stone slab, but be careful not to make excessive adjustments that may affect the elasticity.

 

5. Operating Specifications: Details and Acceptance

Standardization of installation process

Unpacking inspection: Confirm that all accessories are complete and the outer packaging is undamaged.

Frame assembly: Classify the parts according to the manual and tighten each connection point.

Fabric laying: Pull the tablecloth tight from the middle to both sides to ensure there are no wrinkles or air bubbles.

Detail handling: Install the hole net bag and adjust the opening of the ball bag to an appropriate degree.

Acceptance criteria

The levelness of the countertop: Measure it horizontally and vertically with a level, with the water bubble centered.

Edge elasticity of the warehouse: 4-5 warehouses for long warehouses and 4.5-5.5 warehouses for short warehouses.

The countertop is clean: free of dust, glue stains or tool residues.
