Just found out a bunch from David Micah Sanchez after finding his following ad post on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/1871493937561664/ So, going back to this picture: The second tool in the right column is for using specialized curved blades (more expensive and harder...

Moved the PAIR Forge tip tool info request to a new thread in the Cue Machinery and Supplies forum...

Has anyone tried the PAIR Forge tip tool? This is the best video I found demonstrating it: Or this one which looks very similar and an all in one kit (tip cutting blade plus tip centering) and is delivered from California and can be returned there if necessary...

Thanks @Lilbitfurthur, the V3 looks like a pretty sound product. I am concerned about the runout manual adjustments and the use of a drill to drive it.

Don't think this thread belongs in the Cuemaker forum and the Mechanic forum is for tables, so here are my questions: When turning down / reducing shaft diameter do you usually lathe, sand the shaft, or what other techniques are there? I've only seen it personally done with sandpaper on my...

I really liked and miss a good game of golf with old school 6 pocket rotation with your assigned color ball on the snooker table with friends in college. Only issue with it is it takes longer to play and finding 4 to 6 players for that long (or longer if you play multiple games) can be...

How long have they had the 11 Globals and how do they maintain them, given rails and pockets cannot be "bought off the the shelf" as I've found out multiple times? Do they just get new felt over the years and that is it?

The Global replacement pockets are basically impossible to find also...

One follow up to all of this. Be careful about purchasing / renting / leasing Global bar tables. I've been told by two different reliable installers that getting new rails for them involve taking the rail assemblies off and shipping back to (one of) the rail manufacturers to fit them as they...

If this cue is worth that much, it should be shipped 2 day express (UPS or USPS) or overnight with appropriate insurance for the sale value. Was not talking about the calculated ground rate.

A $5k cue shipping for $16.99 UPS ground. Probably has no insurance either... :(

This is the agency my broker (Garrett - for personal insurance) works for: https://www.marshmma.com/ Have been very happy with them giving me notable multiple policy discounts, the best earthquake coverage and premium I've ever had plus they are the only company that got me a multiple car...

That's just gross. And if you said anything to that person, it would be all about the baby and nothing else (another selfish and single focused parent)...
