First problem, snooker rails are thinner than pool rails!!
I understand. I just want an idea of what needs to be done to see if it is worth getting one of these converted. Walnut rails on an old Centennial.
Can the rails be removed and shipped, or would you need to be present at the table?
General cost on the conversion would also be helpful, whether done by you or if anyone wants to answer here or privately. I just want to make sure I'm not way over budget on this and stuck with a snooker table before going to get it
Call Mark Gregory, he's your best bet for the work, ask him all your questions.

When life gives you a snooker table, play snooker!
Seriously, it's a great game, and there are far too few snooker tables in the U.S.
That said, the easiest way to play pool on this would be to get a set of pool balls made for snooker tables.
What size snooker balls? (I assume 2 1/8", standard size.)
A 2" pool ball would probably play well, since snooker pockets are proportionately tighter than pool pockets.

American snooker balls are 2-1/8, Brit balls are 2-1/16. You can play pool on it no problem. It will bank kinda weird due to the rails but you figure it out quik enuff.
