Most pool table slate comes from Italy and is cut and milled there for pool table use. From there, it is finished at the pool table manufacturer.
To purchase new slate, you need to contact a pool manufacturer and convince them to sell you the slate. Because it is not an item they intned to sell, expect it to be very costly. In addition, you will most likely be responsible for drilling the slate yourself.
A better option may be to look around for a used pool table that has the slate in excellent condition. This can be found in yard and garage sales, newspaper ads, Craig's List, and eBay. This most likely will be much cheaper than buying new slate.

How thick should slate be on a billiards table?
1 inch minimum. Most poolplayers will agree that the thicker the slate, the more consistent the table will be. That is why experienced poolplayers that can both afford it and have a room to support it, will have a table with 1.5 inch, and even 2 inch slate. However, most tables are 1 inch slate and most poolplayers would agree that they cannot tell the difference from 1 inch to 1.5 inch. Thinner tables are made, and most will argue that you can tell the difference.
