8ft 3piece slate snooker table without slate screws

[jeroenbracke1986]

Hello I bought a used chinese 8 FT snooker table a few years ago.
i installed it myself and was surprised to see that the slate just lays on top of the cabinet.
I am now going to strip down and reasemble the table because it popped a seam.

Should I drill holes in the slate to fix it to the frame ?

The cushions rails are clamped on the slate with bolts that screw in threaded metal nuts in the wood.
I found a link from a table fitter on this site that came across a similarly build 6 inch table.
if I find it I wil add it.

Sorry for my English but I live in Belgium.

This is the link to what I think is the same table but in 6 in stead of 8 ft
