More About Slate Pool Tables

Slate pool tables are a popular type of table which combines the slate of a pool table and the wood of a standard tabletop billiards table. Slate is usually made from slate stone, or hard igneous rock such as granite or diorite. The term "slate" is sometimes used more broadly to refer to any type of flat slablike surface with parallel faces and smooth edges, typically dark-colored and found in nature, especially slate stone.

The slabs are then cut into rough rectangular shapes which are subsequently shaped into specific shapes for use in specialized applications such as flooring and furniture. With the exception of slate, slate is a durable, natural product that can be manufactured in a variety of colors, forms and textures.

Most pool tables are made from one of two different types:

Slate pool tables are manufactured using a combination of hand tools, such as chisels and hammers to shape the slabs into various shapes. Other methods used include computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines, which can fabricate slabs that have intricate and ornamental surfaces with an accuracy that would be extremely difficult for human workers to achieve. CNC milling machines can work directly on slabs where human workers cannot safely get close enough to use hand tools.

As with other types of slate, the pool table slabs are cut from quarries. Slate is chosen for its durability and resistance to staining by liquids and acids. These qualities also lend slate to a certain degree of fire resistance. In addition to these qualities, slate is also durable enough that it can be used as flooring in buildings. Historically, buildings made primarily with slate were called "slatestruction" by some artists; this was meant as an insult, referring to the destruction of buildings during World War I.
