I can offer an OB-135 Darts. it does not have a logo anymore. I would let it go for $600. shipped Cont. U.S. (I found a detailed description here https://usamadepooltables.com/ob-135-darts.html)

I have those rollers, I have a lathe, and I just plain prefer to roll a cue nice and slow on a pool table where you can really just see what's happening. I laugh every time I see the guy selling a cue spinning it 90 miles an hour on a set of rollers as if you could tell anything at all from...

P.M'D

I have a fantastic Falcon they made for Bruswick. I don't think it's ever been chalked. I can take pics etc if your interested.

Thank you, I have the standard Taig style lathe. I couldn't watch the you tube video because it wanted me to sign in to you tube ?? I does not look like it would go very deep. What diameter stock will it part?

If I were using it often enough I would throw far more time and effort at it. But I have seen the parting tool I showed in the picture a couple times in the past that had the carbide tipped end. That's really all I need or want. Next time I see one I'll grab it and post pictures. I'm surprised...

I don't have the quick change, But I have been considering getting one.

Thanks Dave, Any leads on one? I am sick of this style. they will barely scratch phenolic without burning and they dull so fast on any thing else it's a pain in the ass. I can sharpen my carbide tools. So I'd prefer carbide.

Cutting off. Any suggestions on a carbide alternative for cutting/parting would be very much appreciated.

Cuesmith.

Does anyone have a source to buy a carbide tipped cut off tool 1/4" x 1/4" something like this HSS one.

If you rub it with a piece of Waxed paper it will be nice and grippy tacky. If you play with it a lot it will eventually wear off the slick outer surface but it takes some time.

I had one actually. I wish like hell I had kept it. It was not marked, but it was one I purchased from the original owner. He was a pretty cool old man I met at a place called 'The Billiard Institute" in Denver when I was hanging out there 40 years ago. He purchased it hand to hand from Dick...

I never smile. I'm serious.

Serious buyer? seems like this thread is getting kind of aged.
