it probably won't rip the felt but it could put dents in the table depending on whether you have a wood or slate table
direct from the manufacturer, quote: Slatron is a warp-resistant, resin-reinforced, wood fiberboard. It's a synthetic alternative to slate that gives you authentic pool-table performance at an affordable price. Translated: Medium-density fibreboard (MDF or MDFB) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down softwood into wood fibers, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. Laymen's Terms: It is PLYWOOD with a really fancy name to sucker you into buying a pool-table that will warp from exposure to humidity (or spilled drinks).
Depending on construction, yes. Although it may be possible, it would not be recommended. The obvious reason to change to slate is a better playing surface. However, the slate will be much heavier than the composite or wood it is replacing. This very likely is heavier than the table supports are designed to support, resulting in an unstable support which in turn, will result in a table that canot be kept level.
Neither. Their popular tables are built with a composite surface that is claimed to be nearly as good as slate. They also do make at least 1 model that uses slate.
under the table on the wood or on the box
It would depend on which slate pool table you are looking for. Since we are in the business, we see them all. Here is a rough idea on what various tables weigh. 7ft coin-op 3/4" one PC slate, 500# 8ft coin-op 7/8" one PC slate, 700+# 7ft ball and claw style, 3/4" unbacked 3pc slate, 500# 7ft ball and claw style, 1" backed 3pc slate, 650-700# 8ft ball and claw style, 3/4" unbacked 3pc slate, 650# 8ft ball and claw style, 1" backed 3pc slate, 750-800# 9ft ball and claw style, 1" backed 3pc slate, 850-950# 9ft commercial style, 1" backed 3pc slate, 1000-1100# 9ft antique style, 1" backed 3 or 4pc slate, 900-1200# 10ft antique style, 6 leg, 1.5" backed 3 PC slate, 2000-2500#
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.
The playable surface is underlaid with either Slate (a type of granite); either 1 piece or three pieces OR MDF (a type of man made wood). Covered with Felt (a type of nap cloth). Bumpers are made of urethane rubber, covered with felt. The rest of the table is made with anything from stone, wood, to plastic and metal.
A miniature pool table would be considered a toy, not a pool table. Depending upon the size, it could be made of plastic or wood. To choose a size, determine what size you can purchase the balls needed for the table. A lathe will be needed to make the pool cues. The rest of the table can easily be constructed of wood or plastic, and covered in cheap fabric store felt. There are plans available online for pool table construction. These can be used and scaled down to match the size of the pool balls that have been selected. The scale will be determined by using the same ratio for ball size to rail height and pocket openings as is used on the full size table.
