What type of Wood Table Slides do I need?

Wood Table Slides

Gear Table Slides are for:

• Pedestal base tables (table top moves independently of base)
• Double Pedestal non-dividing base tables (table top moves independently of base)

Standard Wood Table Slides are for:

• 4 Leg Tables (table top and legs move together)
• Dividing Leg Tables base tables (table top moves with legs)
• Dividing Base Tables base tables (table top moves with base)

• Standard Table Leaf width is 12", however occasional table-leaves may differ.
• Determine Leaf Opening Measurement: length of open-area, when slides are extended, should be slightly larger than combined-width of table leaves.
• Calculate how many leaves will fit in leaf opening: (total number of table leaves X width of leaves) +  1-1/2" - 2" . For example: 2 table leaves X 12" (width of leaves) = 24" + 2" = 26" leaf opening.
• Closed-Length, of selected table slide, should be equal to or greater than, one-half the length of table-top, when closed.

Additional:

• Our wood slides are developed with a camber (curved arc) to compensate sagging of the center of the table.
• Use table slides with larger-than-need openings. This results in a greater overlap of table slide sections, providing more support when the table is extended.
• A drop down center leg to add more support, is recommended for tables with large leaf openings or more than 2-3 leaves .
