Fixed Frame Table Slides (Equalizer)
Tabletops supported by a single pedestal require an equalizer slide for extension. This type of slide incorporates a rack and pinion system to ensure that the top will open and close easily while staying in balance. Our fixed frame equalizer table slides will permit openings on pedestal tables from 25 1/2" to 79". Please note: the slide that is designed for use on a pedestal table develops a camber to compensate for sagging at the ends of the table. It is important to use the correct table slide.
Osborne Wood Products offers a variety of table extension slides, including equalizer slides. These allow you to extend a table with a fixed or pedestal base. Our equalizer table slides are made of maple and provide necessary support to a tabletop. They allow you to extend the table while maintaining the original table design.
Our equalizer table slides develop a camber to compensate for natural sagging at the ends of the table. They are available in lengths ranging from 26” to 48”. These sizes can accommodate openings on pedestal tables from 25 1/2" to 79” wide.
