Replacement 44 mm magnetic tiles cut for automatic tables, which will not accept an ordinary set no matter how well it plays.

This is the point most owners of automatic machines learn the expensive way. The machine sorts tiles magnetically: a metal core inside each tile lets the mechanism grip it, turn it face down and place it in the rising wall.
A tile without that core is invisible to the machine. It will not be picked up, and it will jam the cycle. So an ordinary mahjong set, however good, cannot be used in an automatic table.
Automatic tables are cut for a specific tile height, and 44 mm is the common standard. A tile a few millimetres too tall will not clear the lift; one too short will not stack squarely and the wall will collapse mid build.
Measure what your machine takes before ordering. The manual states it, and if the manual is gone, measure an existing tile.
Automatic tables wear tiles faster than hand play does, because every tile is handled mechanically 20 times an evening. Faces dull, corners round, and eventually a tile stops seating properly and jams the cycle.
Replacing the set is far cheaper than servicing a machine that has been fighting worn tiles for a year.
15 kilos, which is normal for a full magnetic set at this size. These tiles are dense by design: the metal core is what the machine grips.
Barely damp cloth. Keep them dry, since a magnetic core in a damp tile is the one failure that cannot be reversed.

Read at a glance
Nobody wants to squint at their own hand. Faces that carry across the table, so the game moves and nobody has to ask.
Weight you'll notice
The difference between a tile you tolerate and a tile you reach for is in your fingers. Heavier tiles shuffle better and stack straighter.

Yes, and this is where most owners get caught. The machine sorts magnetically, so every tile needs a metal core for the mechanism to grip it, turn it face down and set it in the wall. A tile without one is invisible to the table. Height matters just as much: these are 44 mm, the common standard, and a few millimetres over will not clear the lift while a shorter tile stacks unevenly.
For a group playing weekly, yes, provided the running costs are understood. The one people forget is the tiles. A machine handles every tile 20 times an evening, so faces dull and corners round far faster than in hand play, and a worn tile eventually jams the cycle. Budgeting for a replacement set, 44 mm with magnetic cores as here, is part of owning the machine rather than a fault in it.
Yes. They have been made for decades and are common across East Asia, where the mechanism sorts the tiles, turns them face down and raises a finished wall between hands. What varies from machine to machine is the tile size it is cut for. This replacement set is 44 mm, which most tables are built around, but check the manual or measure a tile you already own before ordering a full set.
They remove much of the opportunity. Nobody handles the tiles during the build, every face is turned down inside the body, and the wall arrives already stacked, so a deal cannot be arranged in advance. What no table can police is what happens afterwards, during discards and calls. Worn or mismatched tiles undermine it too, since a chipped back reads as clearly as a marked card.
A mahjong set is handled more than almost anything else in the house: every tile passes through four pairs of hands, several times a game.
That is what we select for. Tiles that read clearly from the far side of the table, edges that stay clean, and a case that still closes after a few seasons of being carried around.
Sets differ in ways that only show at the table: the weight of a tile in the hand, how a crak reads from three seats away, whether the case survives the trip to a friend’s house.
When we have the figures, we publish them: tile count, tile size, weight and material. When we do not have one, we leave it out rather than guess.
