Is there anyone really familiar with JFlower cues? I have one from a customer that he wanted a joint pin change to a Unilock so I did my usual collet for the chuck and also a piece of stiff paper inside the collet to assure that I won't scratch or mar the Finish and when I released it from the...

I do ALOT of cue repair and have been for about 29 yrs. I will say, from my experiences, A pilot does NOTHING. I say that with conviction as I have Never come across a cue that has a pilot, that actually contacts the sides of the recess for a perfect alignment. Have had some that...

First off....my advice is DO NOT BUY A RHINO..... secondly, running a tap thru the insert should cure all problems as long as the depth of the hole is deeper than the pin length. Also you can use a tap that has been modified to be a bottoming tap, so basically cut the pre-tap area of the tap...

BUMP

last I heard the pads were available, but minimum of 10, at $10 each so $100. I split an order a few yrs ago. I do agree with JS858, Predator is absolutely THE WORST company for warranty stuff. They do everything they can to get out of honoring it. I have also had friends send their stuff in...

Have some things for sale. 1 - Dart DC speed control, model 253g-200e. It can handle 1/8 to two horsepower DC motor. It can be ran on 120 volts ac and run a 90 volt DC motor or hooked up for 240 volts ac and can run up to 180 volt DC motor. It is a very smooth and reliable controller that I no...

Damn, did not know he passed....heard he had health issues but didn't know it was that level. I bought stuff from him, had conversations and he Was As An Upstanding Guy as you could have. May He rest In Peace

scam......I do more than 3-4 hrs a day and it DOES NOT provide a good living on it's own. Costs are high, labor is high and people will not pay inflated prices....just saying

When I do an A joint (I usually do a full length core instead) I always make the tenon on the forearm and insert it to the handle. Especially if there is going to be a wrap, as I will then drill a small hole in the handle for excess glue relief and it gets covered by the wrap.

Sorry, Out of town til the weekend. Will try to remember to do it when I get back

I use paper from Micheal's crafts, don't remember the weight, but it's the right thickness, and it's smooth feeling

The official uniloc instructions say tap with 7/16x20.....but Where did you order the insert from? There are, as stated above, after market inserts that have a 7/16x14 which are now the only ones I use. If your insert is 7/16x14....then tap baby...tap it at that!🤣

Tom M offered those Quick release 3/8x10 about 15 or so yrs ago. Would not use them unless going into phenolic or brass inserts IMO
