I like mine. I bought one at the VF show and it works perfect. I didn't think much about it until seeing it in person.
It's nice to be able to remove a cue from the CNC and not loose exact center. Now it's one of those tools I can't live without.

I walked up rite when the guy was purchasing it. I listened and after he purchased it I introduced myself.

We missed our plane and got home 2 days late and I'm behind schedule again. The trip was a blast and well worth it. Nice to see you guys again and hope to see you at the Open.

It's hard to believe she was on oxygen and couldn't walk to the bathroom 2 years ago. Her pool game has stepped up to the 4-5 APA level now that she doesn't have the oxygen bottle strapped over her shoulder. She was a die hard pool player and wouldn't let a little think like breathing stop her from playing.

I liked mine enough that after having one set up on my mill indexer for cutting V spliced points I went ahead and got a second one for use on my CNC for inlays. Very easy and very accurate for re-aligning parts for 2nd operations. It makes making a 6 point or an 8 point V spliced cue no more difficult to build than a 4 point. Absolutely perfect registration every time. I just made a 6 point cue where the points do not touch at the A-joint but are only about .005 apart and every point is the same distance from each other. A truly fine tool.

Oh, and by the way, yes, I have been pretty sick for awhile now. That's why I missed the Derby for the first time since it's inception and it's only a 100 miles from me. Thanks for the concern.
