Any hard playing tip isn’t going to jump well unless that shaft is super stiff and it won’t ever jump like a hard tip. If you would’ve chosen a Samsara, Gator tip ( Andy Gilbert) or an Odega, you would’ve been more than happy.

Around 200. My speed on my Consew motor says 350 but it is actually closer to 200 because of the size of the spindle on the headstock. My router speed is 25k.

I posted a pic and a video link in my post above of my setup working and how smooth it was after a pass. I’m tapering a green mountain camo Spectraply shaft for a jump cue in the video. My feed rate is 15 ipm and I’m taking about .030” off per pass. That’s the first Google Drive video I’ve...

I’m selling a like new 30”, 13 mm, .844” joint diameter, 4.1 oz shaft 3/8x10 pin with original Triangle tip on a LBM ferrule from Andy Gilbert. This shaft came from a jump break that a guy had made and he had Andy make a shooting shaft and he never played with it. I got it in a trade and it is...

I have used Whiteside cutters that were 1/16” that were recommended by a Hall of Fame cue maker and I now use a Freud 63-100 1/16” cutter now recommended by another well known maker. I get a lot better results with those than I ever did with a 6 wing. No cat claws on my shafts or butts. They cut...

You can get it for $70 shipped from Mark's web site. https://playgreatpool.com/

I’m not a fan of the digital calipers. I have a couple of nice Startetts but I usually leave them in a case. I actually use a 6” dial caliper that has inch and mm made by Anytime Tool. You can get them on Amazon for $36. I keep one in my vehicle for use when I’m out and about and one in my top...

I use 2” 3 wing slot cutters by Freud and send them to a guy that sharpens them on the arbor. The guy doesn’t charge much, $7 a piece, and they are sharp and more concentric than they were from the factory. I don’t think they need to be perfect to cut a nice clean taper. I think feed, speed and...

The long taper and Hydex ferrule material is what is giving it the soft hit. I doubt a tip change will get you what you’re looking for.

Thanks buddy!

Does anyone have a link to the Smoking Aces $4000 added brackets from this weekend?

I’ll bet Hydex 202 ferrule material would be great for that too.

I sent you a link via pm. They are a great source and have great customer service. https://www.masecraftsupply.com/Paper-Micarta-_c_305.html

OXA is the one you want. I modified mine and put two cross slides together to get more travel. Your travel will be limited with a QCTP on a Taig based lathe

I use 3/4 hp Consew motors and the new one I have is AWESOME. I was able to purchase a smaller pulley to add more torque and slow it down and the handle will stay where you put it, unlike the motor on my other lather. They are servo motors that are super quiet, smooth, and powerful. I am going...
