I picked up a MidAmerica about 8 years ago. It covers what I need to do - butts, shafts, tips, etc. Agree that the taper bar option on the Cuesmith would be a plus, but I get that done with a Taper Turning Live Center in the tailstock. This lets me quickly set up a taper without having to...

Dave, Think I got the same promo ad you did and was looking at the dymalux product (think only available in panel form) as a replacement for Dymondwood/Frogwood. Then I saw the "made on order/delivery time" comment and took a pause. The price reduction was a good one, but not right now...

I've dealt with them multiple time over the past 2-3 years. Never had a problem. Placed an order with them yesterday morning and received an email stated the order had been shipped that afternoon. Granted a small order, but I've had good luck with them. Glad your issue got resolved...

Agree with SS - work quite often with Black Palm and epoxy works fine for me as well.

Looking for a supplier for a product similar to the revered “Diamondwood” of yore. I’ve used blanks from Frogwood and Webbwood, but Kermit has gone out of biz and Webbwood (think they are now hutproducts) don’t list anything larger than a game call blank. Any thoughts on a current supplier for...

Echo the previous sentiments. Got my first cue lathe from Todd and he was a great source of knowledge (and VERY understanding!) with a newby. Wish you the best, my friend!

Morning! I get my CF shaft blanks from Verboteam at cueblank.com. They offer a variety of diameters as well as foam filled or not. Reasonable prices and quick shipping. I've had great luck with their product. Good Luck!

Thanks Todd - just sent an order email!! Again - appreciate everyone's patience with an old man - with apparently failing eyesight!!

Thanks! I swear I checked Todd's parts list before posting..................but I guess age and eyesight got the best of me!! Thank you for your patience! ken

Looking for a long (extended) live center with a straight shaft - .5" or less. What I have found all have morse tapers. Looking to use on a Mid-America lathe which uses a Jacobs chuck in the tailstock. Any thoughts? Thanks! keninar

Client brought in a Viper cue - wanting to have a bit of weight added. Bumper didn't "give-way" with the normal "coaxing", so thought I'd yield to the experts to see if Viper bumpers have a "quirk" (threaded, glued, etc). Any guidance greatly appreciated. ken

Nice dial set-up. Have the gauges, just need to fabricate the holders. Thanks for the concept. May I inquire as to whose QCTP you have in the pic? Spacer below for height? Any guidance greatly appreciated. Ken

Thanks for the post! Will this adapter accept the Large bore Mid-America chuck (9/16 - 32 ID Thread)?
