• Double Pedestal and non-dividing base tables where only the table-top extends, the table-base remains stationary.

Selection Guidelines & Considerations for Gear Table Slides:

1. Gear table slides have a camber, a specially designed arc, built into each side of slides. This slight arc or camber provides continuous leveling support to table leaves when table tops are extended.
2. Closed Length of Table Slide: Should be equal to or greater than, one-half the length of table-top when closed.
3. Leaf Opening Measurement: Length of open area when slides are extended: should be slightly larger than combined width of table leaves.
4. Long Leaf-Openings: When using more than 2 or 3, 12" leaves, a drop down center table leg is recommended for added support.
5. Extend Slides to produce the leaf opening.
6. The more overlap that is achieved, between sections, when leaves are placed in the table, the greater the support.
7. Table Leaves: The standard size for table leaves is 12" width however some tables may differ. How large is your leaf opening? This measurement is normally 1-1/2" - 2" longer than the number of table leaves your table accepts. For example: a table with a 26" opening will take 2 standard 12" table leaves. The extra inch or two provides maneuverability when putting in or taking leaves out.

Additional Table-top Support:

•  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 can be added to tables with large leaf openings adding more support.
