This subject has been covered, check it out on one of the earlier threads.

i have searched and couldnt find anything. The only thing that I saw was turning a 3cushion into a pool table
 
In that post, I think I said that there's a lot more to converting a table to other than what it was designed for...like, converting the rails as well. The bottom line is that it's a tremendous amount of work, and it's not something that's very easy to do.

i found a good deal on a goldcrown snooker table. I really want a 5x10 pool table but cant find one. Could you just put 5x10 pool table cushions on the table and then shim them up to whatever size you wanted

No, the rails would have to be re-beveled to adapt the K55 cushions, the ends of the rails would have to be re-cut for pocket pool, the corner castings are to small for pocket pool, as well as the side pocket castings. The pockets on the slate would have to be re-cut to be larger, because the slate shelfs would be way wrong.

PS. I forgot to mention that new sights would have to be drilled and mounted as well.

Balls

You might just consider buying a set of snooker sized pool balls and using them. That was the money table in a local hall for years. If nothing else, it will sharpen you shooting abilities........
