    Default cabinet ball feed

    When I built my cabinets I used a 1"tube to feed my balls from the ball safe on top of the cabinet to the ball tray in the machine. The balls keep jamming up. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did they fix it. I was thinking of just redrilling and putting in a 1.5" feeder tube, but wanted to find out if someone else had an easer fix. Thanks

    one inch is pretty small, I would think you would be better with a 1 1/2 to 2 inch feeder tube.
