    so i’ve decided to make cues

    I built my first cues on a wood lathe without a center steady. Drilling and boring was done with the cue being fed using the tailstock and a centering jig, which in some regards is a great way to do it--the rotation, vibration and flex of the cue are eliminated. Points were cut using a hand...

    STOOOPID Questions about "Cue Makers guild" YouTube & Cue Demon CNC

    I just looked at the two machines, yours (or at least the current offerings from i2r) and the Cue Demon. From a 500ft view, they are the same machine. From a few details: Your machine uses profile linear rails, the cue demon uses round rails. Huge advantage to your machine. Your machine has...
