If the table is 9 foot, it is 3 piece slate. If it 8 foot, it most likely is, but you can look underneath the table and see the seams. For 7 foot tables, you definitely have to look. If you are unable to look from underneath and really need to know, the rails can be removed as a large 1 piece square on most tables and you can then see the slate. The rails, as a large piece can be easily removed and reinstalled.

You can most likely tell by examining the underside of the table surface. This is usually exposed and you can try carefully scratching or chipping it with a sharp object. By its hardness you may be able to determine if it is wood, a synthetic, or slate. If you can't tell, the rails need to be removed to examine it at a pocket area.

If you go underneath the table, you will be able to see the slate surface. The slate may also be visible at the side pockets if you examine carefully.

What are the measurements of the markings on a 7ft x 4ft pool table?

To mark any pool table(as they vary by manufacturer in exact size,)first measure the width of the slate then half this measurement. This is the spot mark, (which should be the centre point between the middle pockets and the corner pockets in an imaginary cross between the pockets). IE if the table is 39" wide,then measure from the edge of the slate,19.5"up the table and place the spot mark 19.5" from the edge of the table where the measurements meet.This is the exact spot mark. The line (baulk line) is one fifth of the slates length from the edge of the cushion. IE if the slate is 75" long then a fifth of this is 15"...measure 15" up the table from the edge of the cushion,place a mark on both sides and draw your baulk line. centre of baulk line spot will be 19.5". Sounds more complicated than it is and its easy to do but harder to explain. This method works for any pool table size up to 8' as far as i know. Hope this helps.

What scale is slate on the moh's hardness scale?

Slate is a rock, so you won't find it listed on the Mohs Scale, because that scale of hardness applies to minerals. I'll go out on a limb though, and suggest that slate is probably around 2 to 3 or so, but this will be variable, depending on the quality of the slate, and degree of weathering, etc.
