Selecting Wood Table Slides
What type of table do you have:
- Dividing leg (standard table with 4 legs - separates in the center of table top for leaves)
- Dividing base ( table base splits)
- Single Pedestal base (table top moves independently of base)
- No dividing Double Pedstal base tables (table top moves independently of base)
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 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 2" provides maneuverability when putting in or taking leaves out.
Additional Support:
- Use table slides which have larger than need openings. Greater overlap of table slide sections provides more support when the table is extended.
- A drop down center leg can be added to tables with large leaf openings adding more support.
