This slate was dropped a couple of inches. :( The damage is under the rail area . Does this need to be fixed? If so could I get some advice?

It dosn't look like it will effect the play of the table. From what I see in the pics I would leave it alone.
 
Cool

Do you have a mechanic setting up the table or are you doing it yourself?

Two of my friends were moving the slates to the basement. I have a local mechanic to set it up.

I bet your friends felt like sh@# after that. I am glad it wasn't that bad and I am sure the mechanic will make it work. Best of luck to you.
 
Doesnt look like an issue at all. I had a WAY bigger gouge on my Gold Crown and Glen didnt even bat an eye.
 
Now I might be able to sleep tonight!

I actually feel bad for my friend who dropped it. My carpet has a litte slit in it. I'm glad it was the carpet and not his foot! Normally I would get pretty upset but I've had 5 deaths in my family since feb and am trying to take things differently. You never know whats gonna happen next. Pool tables can be fixed!
 
Those are all minor chips and splits on the area outside of the playing area. The first 3-1\2" of slate generaly wont affect the roll of the ball it's all covered by rail's. You can use some super glue liquid not the gell type to seal the slits in the slate to keep it from growing when you take the table apart again to move it.

You dont have any cracks running across in the playing area if you do then you can drill a small hole @ the end of the crack to relieve pressure and fill it with super glue and bondo to fill in any voids then lightly sand it flush.

What I see in the picture is really minor dont sweat it all tables have that kind of damage from from many moves, You will get more when you move it again. First hour sucks knowing about it then 6 weeks from now you will forget about it, the table plays great.

Had an olhausen. Sold on ebay. Bought a GC4 selling on ebay. Found a sweet deal on a diamond profressional that I just couldn't pass up.

You obviously have great taste, but did anyone ever tell you that collecting cues takes up less space and is easier to carry around.....?lol

Craig already threw out all the pertinants... don't sweat it, just enjoy it once it's all together!
