Table Leveling

Equipment

I have a table that has two separate halves.  Ideally, the table is perfectly level and the two halves match up at the center.  This doesn't happen.  What I do now is level each half using the leveling feet but then they don't match up exactly in the middle.  I know that some people use the net clamps to pull the center halves together, but I don't like to stress the table like that.  In addition, this will also unlevels the table.  So, I level each half using the feet and then shim under the wheels a little to get the center to match before I put on the net clamps.  I know that this knocks them slightly out of level but I don't have a good solution.  What is the best approach for this?  Also, is there a specification that is used for leveling a table for professional events?

Hi Rick,

Often they use a Spirit Level to check if the tables are level.  They also use a tape measure to make sure the height is correct.

Sometimes it is the table, sometimes it is the flooring.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
