My carpet is fairly shaggy so not great, but well enough. Still way better than the alternative. If you have low pile/low shag it would be fine.

Great thread, gonna go the bimini route. Seems like I will have the least chance screwing it up this way. Thanks everyone.

post #360 , 361, 384 were good.

Cuts not straight. Need to adjust the tightness on the joints. Also need to find my original bolts. Overall id give myself 6/10 I’m happy though!

Something similar for sure ...

I would have sprung for the cheap eBay ones but I didn’t want to wait. Seem to work ok. Amazon’s are Not worth 5 bucks each IMO

I let it slide around because I use it to stand up my pins. I would be curious because it would be better if it stayed in one place

The thing with bending is it doesn’t store well? I’m assuming you can’t get the pole back out? With the bimini it folds right up

Double post

No clue, hopefully someone who bent theirs can confirm for sure

The creativity and inginuity on this thread is great. All for a pinball lift table. Love it!

I feel like this is getting over complicated. part of the bi mini method is that its simple. you only need to make two cuts. There should be two shorter pieces (with thread holes) that sit in the base of the lift. No issues with short cable.

Nice Daditude . We need this a key post. Does the OP have to do it?

EDit: I pm'd ForceFlow to see if we can get this a key post

For the canucks, the red motomaster lift table goes on sale for 187 regularly at crappy tire. It says it’s rated for 330lbs but you get the 500lb one in the box

I bought the vevor scissor lift 330lbs and it isn’t great, a lot of the scissor style extra high ones drop too fast when you are lowering it so it kind of “crashes down” on your legs. Pretty disappointed.

I like the pipe cutter idea posted above, I used a heavy duty angle grinder for my cuts and I was sketched out the whole time !

Oh those, they are bicycle seat quick releases. It was suggested here a while ago. I added some nylon washers between the contact points but overall a cheap mod
