Russian Pyramid Table Slate 45mm – 12ft 5-Piece Set

The Russian pyramid table slate set on this page is a 45 mm, five-piece bed measuring 3680 × 1930 mm assembled, made for 12ft-class Russian pyramid billiard tables. Each set is machined to order at our works in Jiujiang, Jiangxi — inside the Lushan slate belt — for pyramid table manufacturers, OEM programmes and replacement projects. The wider billiard slate range sits on the category page; this page stays on the pyramid format itself.

Production follows a confirmed table drawing. The overall size above is the nominal assembled bed from the current drawing; individual piece sizes, joint positions, pocket openings and bolt holes are all confirmed case by case before anything is cut.

One line worth repeating: 3680 × 1930 mm is the assembled bed, not a single piece. The set ships as five machined sections that join on the table frame.

Not a Snooker Slate in a Bigger Size

Russian pyramid is its own table format, not a scaled-up snooker table. Full-size pyramid tables play on a surface of roughly 12 ft × 6 ft — wider than a snooker table of the same length — and their frames, rail interfaces and pocket cut-outs follow the pyramid table design, not a snooker drawing with the numbers stretched. Our 12ft snooker bed assembles to 3658 × 1867 mm; this pyramid set is 3680 × 1930 mm. The two are close on paper and not interchangeable on a table.

Comparing formats? The format comparison guide covers how the beds really differ. The size and thickness logic behind the pyramid bed — how the slate relates to the playing area, and why thickness follows the frame design — is worked through in the Russian pyramid slate guide; this page keeps to what we make and how you order it.

This format is not new to our works. We have machined Russian pyramid beds from production drawings before — pocket geometry, bolt patterns and joint positions all followed the table design of that order, and that is the reference point we quote against: your drawing, not a generic chart.

The 3680 × 1930 × 45 mm Bed

The dimensions come from the drawing. A 12ft-class pyramid table plays on roughly 12 ft × 6 ft of cloth; the slate bed runs past the cloth line to carry the pocket openings and the rail interface, so the finished bed is larger than the playing area itself. The 3680 × 1930 mm figure is the nominal assembled size; the outline and individual piece sizes are fixed on the confirmed drawing for your order.

Thickness on this format is 45 mm. A bed this wide benefits from the stiffness, but thickness is part of the table design — frame height, rail section and the levelling interface — not a quality grade on its own. How slate thickness interacts with table performance covers that relationship in detail.

Five Pieces for Transport and Assembly

A bed of this size cannot practically travel as one slab. Five sections keep each piece within handling weight for the workshop, the crate and the installation crew, and the joint faces are ground so the sections meet without a step. For play, what matters is whether the section sizes and joint positions suit your frame and shipping route.

Before production starts, four points are confirmed against your drawing:

• Overall bed size and the outline corners
• Individual piece sizes and joint positions
• Pocket openings and the bolt-hole pattern
• How the sections sit and level on your frame

Do not assume every 12ft Russian pyramid table is divided the same way. Two tables can share a playing size and split the bed differently, so the joint layout on the drawing — not a habit from another order — is what we cut to.

Machining to the Pyramid Table Drawing

Every machined detail comes off the drawing. The works cuts, drills and finishes on CNC — section cutting, bolt holes with countersinks, pocket cut-outs and edge work. Confirming a billiard slate drawing is the checklist we work through with buyers before a pyramid drawing goes to production.

Each piece is checked to an inspection plan agreed with the order — dimensions, thickness, flatness, joint faces and surface condition. Measured results from the same inspection scope are published in the billiard slate quality test data.

Wood, Film and Steel Strapping

Pyramid sets ship as heavy stone, and they are packed that way. Standard export packing is pallet-based: sections bundled on an export pallet, corners edge-protected, the bundle wrapped and then steel-strapped. For oversized sections or a specific container plan, wooden crates and A-frames are made to order; the packing follows the shipping arrangement.

Our works sits about 40 minutes from the Jiujiang river port, and sets from the same route ship to buyers in more than 30 countries. Full-container and less-than-container loads are both workable; the container plan is confirmed with the quotation.

Start With a Drawing

A pyramid quotation starts from the table design itself. Send:

• The table drawing, or the table model and brand if the drawing is with the table maker
• Quantity, and whether this is new production or a replacement bed
• Destination country and port
• Any machining or packing requirements outside the standard scope

No drawing yet? What a slate supplier needs to quote sets out the minimum that lets us start — a new OEM model, an existing table, or a bed matched to pieces already on a table.
