| Important
recommendations for a long-lasting operation.
These
slides must be exclusively fixed on rectangular tables with
4 legs and fixed belt which dimensional characteristics are
close to the indications supplied on sketches 12 and 13.
The
assembly of the various elements shall be carried out with
great care and the parallelism between the slides, supporting
rails and dovetails shall be rigorous (we advise an assembly
with a gauge).
The
weight of each half-plate shall not exceed 15 kg (that means
a thickness of a 23 mm with classical material).
The
design of the plates shall be such that any strain susceptible
to lead to hard points is avoided.
For
this type of table we advise the use of mdf, high quality
plated blockboard, plated chipboard.
The
assembly of a false crosspiece at the end of the table under
the plate, hiding the dovetail, with strengthen the plate
stability.
The
dowels and other linking systems between the plates and leaves
shall have a sufficient functional clearance in order to avoid
making table closing difficult.
In
the finish phase, rails and dovetails shall imperatively be
polished (paraffin is to be proscribed) in order to obtain
a very smooth motion.
With
a concern of perfecting, these slides may undergo any technical
modification without prior motice. |
