Chris Hightower sells a chuck that would slip over your spindle. I might have to bore the sleeve so it fits but that is what I did on my machine which also has a 1.5" spindle. Alternatively, create tapered collets that match the shaft taper Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

Just wanted to share with the broader Audience a new cue I've been working on for the past year. Owner is super happy [emoji4] Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

Correct, I don't use a spur driver. Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

Just because you're cutting from the side, the height absolutely can change the way it cuts. I prefer mine slightly below center. Also ensure shaft is held between centers with the correct pressure. You don't want it too tight. I can pinch my shaft to stop it from turning. Sent from my Pixel 8...

It's all about speeds and feeds. Try reducing RPM of router, height of cutter, feed rate, spindle RPM. No wood is identical and you will have to vary parameters to eliminate the harmonic vibrations. Every cuemaker has experienced this at one time or another. Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

Do a metric to inches conversion and find a bit that's a little bigger. You will have to compensate for clearance anyway. Ie. A 3 mm dot doesn't require a 3mm hole. 3mm = 0.118" A 0.0200" router bit would work just fine providing 2 thou clearance for glue. Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using...

I'll take one too. PM how to pay Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

Yeah I kinda figured that. Was hoping perhaps somebody else who still does post here had more information. I'll try reaching out to Thomas via FB. Thanks!

I know this is a super old post but can anyone share more information on the components used in this build? Thx, Phil

Hello - Is it possible or has anybody successfully moved a Diamond Professional 9' (No the ProAm) using the diamond cart? Thx, Phil

The mezz NX ferrule has a thread pitch of 1.25mm. My method for removing the old ferrule is to spin the shaft in reverse and use a leather strap on the ferrule to build up friction/heat. Once the old glue melts it will spin right off. Often times with this method, the remaining threads are...

I repair these all the time. I turn down the old ferrule and use my CNC router to cut new threads. Phil Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk
