John would probably tell you that theirs plenty of competent folks to core the blank. He was pretty much always experimenting and never really settled on a coring process. He mostly cored all of his late model playing cues. (non blanks). I can tell you from experience that you want to be...

Dennis...deep breathe. Now tell everyone there order is cancelled and know that you'll be happier, build better cues and of course will always sale everything you make. never to late to start over....hope all is well

The OP is the innovator / inventor of the digicue and OB cues was the outlet HE chose to get it to market. Just thought you should know before you go being "sure" about to much else.

and or connected to cloth....when finished over, the majority of all the ribbons i've tried, the fibers tend to disappear against black surface and epoxy penetration. the closest i've gotten to what looks real is ribbon with an edge treatment on it thats semi ridgid. Basically the metallic...

It is grosgrain ribbon.....period, end of story. I've obtained miles (multiple rolls) of gold grosgrain from multiple suppliers. I've applied some of that ribbon to blanks and finished over it. Its definitely the same thing however his was gold with a bit of other iridescence that i've not...

Mike your stuff is always so clean...it’s obvious you take great pride in your cues

I would invite you to research “infinity” inlays. Done properly it’s impossible to differentiate manual from cnc. To my knowledge this methodology was brought to cues via Jim Babcock’s vision which was shared with Royce whom helped perfect and bring to market. I know the history lesson is not...

you'll likely get away with it but you will never get the benefits that 3 phase has to offer nor the benefits of a badass lathe like a heavy 10. The motor is already undersized (in my opinion) for the size and weight of a heavy 10 spindle. You now have a vfd that wont even output current...

just realized you already bought...next time it may be wise to consult the drive manufacturer in lieu of az billiards.

thats a nice one but properly sized and with switches it will be far more expensive than the one you have in the link. I would go with a 2hp GS2 from automation direct.

Ken, holler if cue is still available

Seems like I remember the pulse rate limited to 100khz. Were u able to run the dmm motors with there actual resolution or did u have to use electronic gearing?

here you go Dean...i cursed you the whole time i was putting this together!

To whoever has this cue...I would like to purchase it
