Step #4: Set the cross supports into position. Make
sure that they do not set above the side sill. It may
require shaving wood off the bottom of the cross
support.
Step #5: Loosely attach the cross supports with
3/8-16 x 3-1/2” hex head cap screws, two 3/8 washers
and 3/8-16 hex nuts.
Step #6: Position the baseframe in it permanent location
with sides and ends at least 60” away from walls or
obstructions.
Step #7: Square the table by measuring diagonally, adjust
if necessary by pushing at the of the baseframe diago-
nally until measurements are within 1/8”.
Step #8: Tighten all hardware securely.

SLATE ASSEMBLY AND LEVELING
IMPORTANT: Prior to installing the slate, it is
important to level the baseframe.
FIGURE ONE
Step #1: With a carpenter's level, locate the highest
corner of the baseframe. Level the base frame by
positioning shims (supplied with table) underneath the
other three legs as necessary.
Step #2: Be sure that the top surfaces are absolutely
ush. Add shims or remove wood as necessary to
accomplish this.
Step #3: With the baseframe level and carefully posi-
tioned in its permanent location, place the center section
of slate on the table. Be sure that the center section is
precisely square with the frame and an equal amount of
overhang exists on both sides of the table.
FIGURE ONE
FIGURE TWO
Step #4: Position the two end slate sections on the
baseframe as shown if Figure 2. Be sure that the
penciled arc forms a radius as shown in Figure 2.
Step #5: Recheck to be sure that the slate has an equal
amount of overhang around the baseframe.
Step #6: Using the twelve (12) countersink holes in the
slate as a template, pilot drill 5/32' diameter holes into
the mounting cleats.
Step #7: Securely fasten the end slate section at both
ends of the table
0” clearance around perimeter of the table. Proceed with
leveling and slate installation.

Step #8: With a precision level, level each end slate
section by driving wooden slate wedges (provided)
between the top of the baseframe and bottom of the
slate. Keep the wedges as close to the countersunk
holes as possible.
Step #9: With both end slates perfectly level, continue
fastening the end slates at the joints. Recheck for
levelness and if necessary, back the screws out and
adjust the shim position, then retighten the slate
attaching screws.
Step #10: When satised that both end slates are level,
shim the center slate section as required to obtain a
ush t at both joints, then screw the center slate down.

Step #11: Slate joints can now be lled with fast setting
rock hard putty. Lightly sand or scrape across joint after
grouting.
Step #12: From the end of a bed cloth, cut strips of cloth
approximately 1-1/2" wide by approximately 8" long and
glue the strips to the pocket cutouts (3m Super 77 is
recommended for this step). This is important as this
will provide cushioning from ball impact and the bed
cloth will last much longer.

ATTACHING BED CLOTH TO
FRAMED SLATE
Before attaching the billiard cloth, clean slate thoroughly.
FIGURE ONE
Step #1: Lay the bed cloth over the top of the slate, nap
side up, with the nap running from the head end to the
foot end of the table.
NOTE: In determining the direction of the nap, run
your hand lightly over the surface of the cloth. If it
meets resistance, it is going against the nap.
Step #2: Leave only enough cloth overhang at the head
end and left side to permit tacking into the wood slate
frame. Leave the balance of cloth overhang at the foot
end and right side.
NOTE: Do not spread tacks on the bed cloth. Keep them
in a container that slides over the cloth.
Step #3: Tack or staple the cloth securely to the wood
frame at #1 with two tacks or staples approximately 2"
apart.
Step #4: Stretch the cloth across the table and tack or
staple securely at #2 with two tacks or staples 2" apart.

Step #7: On the left side, stretch the cloth tightly from
#1 toward the side pocket opening and tack or staple
securely at #5.
Step #8: Repeat Step 5, stretching the cloth from #3 and
tacking or stapling at #6.
Step #9: On the right side of the table, grasp the cloth
rmly and stretch across the table from #5 and toward
the side pocket from #2 and tack or staple at #7.
Step #10: Repeat Step 7, stretching from #6 and toward
the side pocket from #4 and tack or staple at #8.
