Pool Table Construction

The Pool Tables USA Construction Difference Our pool tables are meticulously designed on the outside, but the true value in our products lies in the way they are crafted on the inside. An expensive sports car may elicit non-stop stares, but just a quick peek under the hood demonstrates its real power. Pool Tables USA's products are no different. Take a look at some of the internal features that make our pool tables both beautiful AND built to last. Artisan Crafted To conserve costs, most pool table manufacturers ship their tables in pieces and have them assembled off site. Each table from Pool Tables USA, however, is designed, engineered and assembled in the United States the "old-fashioned" way, utilizing only time-tested craftsmanship through the construction process. For maximum quality, we have our trained artisans assemble the frame and cabinet at our factory and then ship it. To ensure the dynamics of design are not compromised during assembly, absolutely no weight is ever supported by hardware. B.C.A. Specifications The Billiard Congress of America regulates the billiard industry. All Pool Tables USA tables meet or exceed the stringent BCA specifications and guidelines.
Furniture Finish The meticulously created wood stain finishes emphasize the natural warmth and beauty inherent in each wood species. Our state-of-the-art facility utilizes commercial sanding equipment as well as custom made tools to prepare the components for stain. Pool Tables USA realizes that in order for a piece of furniture to have a great finish, the product must be properly prepared. State-of-the-art sanding equipment, built specifically to Pool Tables USA standards ensures only the very finest of finishes. The use of precise, computerized controls insures consistent stain application and unsurpassed durability.
Custom Leather Billiard Ball Pockets Steel reinforced leather billiard ball pockets are custom designed for every model to provide a complimentary accent to a highly refined piece of furniture.
Table Legs To create our table legs, custom select hardwoods are bonded grain against grain for maximum strength and support. Once our artisans professionally carve each leg, extensive sanding ensures that the finish of each leg exceeds the expectations of all customers. Master design artists expertly proportion the leg to the cabinet body to ensure eye-catching combinations. On our post leg tables, our Patent Pending "Top Shelf" design takes advantage of the meticulously machined one-piece post leg and allows all of the cabinet weight to rest directly on the leg shelf. Other manufacturers hang the panels on the leg with a dowel or bolt, which cannot support the weight or keep the slate level. We start by mortising or recessing the cabinet wall to accept our 2" solid wood anchor blocks, which are glued and bonded into place. Our 2" mitered and tapered wood gusset plate is then secured to the anchor blocks, locking the corner into place, preventing the table from rocking and shifting.
Cabinetry Our "Magna-Board" is a smooth, seamless surface designed to utilize the cabinet to provide unparalleled slate bed support. Our pool tables utilize twin one-piece center beams to keep the cabinetry square and true. These cross-laminated beams interlock to one another and are then mortised into all four cabinet sidewalls to prevent any cabinet warping or twisting. Keen-eyed Artisans meticulously select only the finest raw materials to begin your pool table. Our Quality Control department pays particular attention to matching grain patterns and alternating growth rings to create a beautiful canvas that will stand the test of time.
Rails Our American hardwood rails and the "Sure Shot" natural gum rubber rail system are engineered with a professional control fabric and an acceleration arch. The combination provides unequaled accuracy by preventing abnormal ball acceleration and deflection. To create the finest quality billiard rail, two pieces of dissimilar American hardwood species are glued together; this produces a solid rail that will not split, crack or cup. The "Posi-Anchor" rail mounting system allows our factory-trained installers to position and properly torque the rails to the Prima Classe™ slate surface, insuring crisp, clean and accurate rebounds, shot-after-shot. Go ahead and give them a bounce! Precision rail tolerances and 100% natural gum rubber cushions deliver the rebound accuracy demanded by tournament professionals. Interlocking blinds are dadoed and permanently bonded to the table rails, completing the custom furniture build which dramatically increases the table's durability and overall appearance.
