Never seen something like that before, but then again, i avoid working on the cheaper tables out there because of how they're built in the first place.

My table

It's not a billiards table, just an older commercial table by Blatt. I think I found what will work, just had to search and find out that they're called T-nuts. These were press fit into the metal sleeve inside the hole, but they have ones that can be screwed in with little screws on the flange or ones with no holes I could epoxy in place.

Glue a wooded dowel in the hole, cut it off flush. Center drill the dowel and insert a threaded insert into it, problem solved.

Thanks

Sounds like a good plan if I can't get a replacement

I would do an internet search for someone who specializes in Blatt Billiards
restorations. possibly someone like Rebco Billiards who specializes in Brunswick antique restorations may have the part you are looking for.
