How to Re-Level the Slate on a Gold Crown

Re-leveling the slate on a pool table involves adjusting the playing surfaces until the entire table is level and perfectly flat. Excess amounts of movement can add unwanted amounts of tilt to the slate, making it nearly impossible to play pool without the it affecting the game mechanics. The Gold Crown pool table allows users to re-level the slate as needed, using a relatively straightforward process that can be performed in a prompt manner.

Instructions

1

Divide the pool table into thirds, lengthwise. Use a measuring tape to determine the overall length of the table. Divide the measurement by three and mark each third with a small amount of masking tape.

2

Place the precision carpenters level on one section of the slate. Each section must remain level with one another.

3

Observe the amount of tilt indicated by the precision carpenters level. Locate the hex base leveler for that section at the underside of the table near the legs.

4

Loosen the slate screw on the edge of the section being leveled using a Phillips-head screwdriver. Turn the hex base leveler counterclockwise with a slotted screwdriver while observing the precision carpenters level. Continue turning the leveler until the slate section becomes level.

5

Verify the levelness of the slate section with the precision carpenters level. Tighten the slate screw with the Phillips-head screwdriver. Repeat the procedure with the remaining slate sections until the table is completely level.
