Installing Shuffle Tech Flush Mount (1 Viewer)

[Timmah]

I’m getting ready to install a shuffle tech into an existing table. I watched a YouTube video on how to install it. The only thing I’m not sure of is how do I make the 45 degree cuts on the narrow edges so the shuffler gets flush with the table? I’m not that handy so if you could dumb it down for me, I’d appreciate it.

Think what that refers to is that the shape of the Shuffletech is not flat but angled at 45 degrees at the top.
If you have easy visibility from the underside after cutting the hole, you can place the mounting plate on the top of the table and then try to push the Shuffletech up to see if it is flush with the mounting plate. If it is not, then you should be able to figure out which of the short sides require some more space.

In general, I think if you cut a little too much should probably be fine since you can adjust or fix the mounting on the underside to help.

Shuffletech is not flat but angled at 45 degrees at the top.

Basically this. Here’s an example so you can visualize what might need to be done. I used a router to cut the bevel.

Your jigsaw likely allows you to put some angle in. Take your time though, measure twice and cut once and all that.

I ended up buying a router with a 45 degree Chamfer bit. I’m going to try it out on some scrap wood first, but I think it will do the job.

Looks good!

Let us know how it does in play + how loud it is.

Looks good.

A year ago I emailed them about a model for bridge sized cards. They said they were working on it. Maybe if a ton of us inquire they will get on it

As soon as they have that I’m buying it

For the most part, it works great with Bridge cards, especially thick, heavy cards like faded spade. I never have issues…

First game is a week from tomorrow. I can’t wait! The shuffler seems loud in a quiet room, but it’s not noticeable with a full table, many conversations going on, and music playing. I have a friend that has two tables with two of these mounted and have played there many times. I also work at a casino. I do that the slot machines anymore. So same philosophy I think.

I have ran bridge cards through for about 20 minutes. For the most part they shuffle great. However, o did have a couple jams I had to clear, though it was easy enough.

My luck I’d mount the current one and the new one would be a different size.

I’ve been very tempted but I own 35+ sets of bridge sized cards. I really really dislike dealing and handling poker cards

If surprised they didn’t design this to work well with bridge cards. The market for this is enthusiasts….many of which would use bridge cards like every casino

Untapped market right there

I was thinking of starting a thread to have people write in asking for this

I must be missing the threads/reviews where people are struggling with bridge cards in these machines. Everything I've seen talks of very occasional jamming

 

[joseywales]

I purchased an Ideal shuffler here last week, but won't be mounting it in my table (octagon). One aspect I'm going to address, I'm sure, is sound abatement. I want to identify from where the sound emits, as well as where/if the machine produces any heat. I don't expect heat from shuffling for my small game, but want to be aware, as the residual effect of abatement is insulation.

On this very page the OP discusses several jams in 20 minutes

I read it as though @Timmah is implying it is minimal. I think twice in 20 mins is on the high side, however I'm quote certain others have reported minimal issues. Will try to find

From a chat session I had with their customer service

I look forward to giving my hands on review. The shipping delays are unbearable

Great info

I just created a thread. It’s worth a shot!

I decided to run my shuffler off of a power bank. I was wondering how to mount it to the table. Initially I tried Velcro. That didn’t work as the adhesive wouldn’t stick to the wood.

I ended up finding a metal kitchen organizer on Amazon. I mounted it to the table with a piece of wood and wood screws. Luckily my table is big enough that there is plenty of leg room without bumping the organizer.

I feel like I deal with a minor jam every couple hours with Broken Arrow professional series bridge cards

Also went with a power bank (portable generator). Totally worth it
