No matter how much you play pool, the table should be level. It might be necessary to frame your table, or to brace it to ensure that it is in place. Whether you're using a self-leveling pool table or a DIY pool table leveling system, the goal is the same: to get the level of your table so that you can enjoy your game as much as possible.
First, check the level of your table with a carpenter's level. It's a simple instrument that helps you locate the highest corner of your table. A piece of marble and glass can be used to measure the table's balance if you don't own a carpenter level. Although it may sound more complicated than it is, it's worth it.
A smartphone level app allows you to check the height of your table. These can be found on most smart phones and are useful for checking the table's level. Although they aren't as precise as a carpenter’s level, they can do the job.
Other methods of checking the level of your table include using shims. Shims, which are small, tapering pieces from wood, are thin and tapering. They can be purchased in various sizes at hardware shops and carpentry outlets. You can use them to adjust the height of your pool table so that it has a perfect playing surface. Shims can either be used to raise your pool table's legs or to level it.
Another useful pool table tool is a marble. This marble can be used to measure the table's level or to find out if your pool table tilts towards one side. This should not be attempted on your own. This could cause damage to your pool table. You can call a pool company to repair your table.
To determine if your table is tilted in the right direction, you might also consider a marble roll. This will help you see the direction the balls roll in, and can also tell you if your table's level.
The self-leveling pool table system is a great option for a level table. These aren't for beginners, and they'll cost you the same amount as a brand new table. They are quick and easy to put together. You'll also have a ball driver included.
For the best results, you should follow these instructions. You might also want to check out the compass app for your smartphone. You can also use it on Androids and iPhones. It should give you a fairly accurate measurement of the table's level. You can also use a carpenter's level to check the level of your pool table. This is a crucial task in your pool table maintenance.
