Leveling a table is dependent on the type of table. On some
tables the bottom plate that meets the floor turns and screws
in and out, allowing you to change the table level with a twist
of that plate. On other tables you have to slide a thin piece
of material under the leg.
Generally, if you have a few strong people and a level, leveling
a table is not very complicated. Have two strong people raise
up the side on which the leg is that you you need to raise and
slip your shim in/screw the leg out. Place a spirit level across
the width of the table at one end and screw the table feet up
or down until level. Repeat at the other end of the table, across
the width, corner to corner. Finally place the level down the
length of the table and raise or lower one end of the table
by means of the levelling screws, adjusting both feet at one
end by equal amounts until level along the table. Check levels
again and repeat if necessary.
Now that you've gotten the table fairly level, you can test
it by rolling a cueball slowly at various places on the table
and see if it rolls true. Make your final adjustments based
on this.
Be carefull, if you put your pool table on a carpet, wait some
time for the table to settle down. Moreover, if you have a table
that shifts fairly easily from a push, in any event the table
will not stay perfectly level for very long.
Caution: Do not try to do this without the proper number
of people in the proper physical condition to help. Even a "light"
table is quite heavy and you could harm somebody. If you are
not sure call us.
