Paul, I dunno what the standard is from a sports rules perspective, but mine are quite flat. Relatively, that is. If I had just plunked down $1800 for a new traditional workbench, laid a straight edge across it and found it to look like my bowling alley segment, I'd be irate, send it back, whatever. However, in truth, there are probably more irregularities in the surface of my "bench" because of the thick, waxy finish than the wood surface. Like I said, time to refinish. I've never used my benches for anything more than a real fast rough-in of regulation anyway. I prefer to regulate at the piano. I just find that bench regulations leave me repeating too many steps when I do get to the piano. JMO, William R. Monroe Question: Are bowling alley lanes slightly "crowned"? Mine seems to be which makes bench regulating impossible. Maybe time to get a new hunk...Where does one find such a thing. This one here came with the shop...
