Some us stock here and there but I believe there all coming from china, pick a bigger company if your planning to buy a lot. Cost Xtra but I sent them all the specs and taper length I wanted and they built them to it.
THe blanks Prathers sells is also nice
Mine have no play but definitely not tight, gotta have some room for epoxy and I cut a few glue lines also. Sand and clean clean clean the inside of shaft
I recently picked one up. I used the smallest bit I could find for some tests, they came out pretty well but boy was I working slow to manage it. I've been asking around to see who has a CNC to cut some for me.
I tried a small CNC and just can't get a grasp on it. Maybe some day I'll meet...
What is that silencer pad material, looks familiar. I'm sure it's top secret but seems few things are made just for cues, usually something is used elsewhere and gets introduced into cues
Just have to make up different plugs from different materials and throw everything on a scale and see what you get, adjust with different materials if lite or heavy
Figured..... I tapped a 3/8x10 into a shaft and didn't like the way it felt, seemed soft. I ended up putting a purple heart plug in it, feels a lot better
I have a bottle of sewing machine oil, not sure where it came from but it's convenient. I try to keep it as dry as possible everywhere without wearing obviously, clean up is a lot easier that way. Wood dust packs up tight
Really be bad if a high dollar cue was spinning while it happened 😳
Mine are bolted down and the not very wide tables screwed to the wall. I had a visual of a cue spinning and things falling over, no way of grabbing it unless you want twisted up LoL
Yeah really anything will do as long as its not doing damage. I've seen just a v shaped piece of wood covered in a towel for the shaft to rest on while spinning 🤷🏻♂️
Probably rare but might pick one up or a much better one on market place for real cheap
