Honestly, I have no idea. I've searched a bit but never found any specific info on the year or model. for those two.

Probably need to use a router.

One of my first cues was a Dufferin conversion, I have second I will do someday. Post in thread 'My first tip install' https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/my-first-tip-install.530532/post-7809069 It was my player for a while, but now has become my breaker since I made my Titlist conversion.

Yes, I get a little pucker when drilling the first hole in Tomahawk from the heat, but after that no problems drilling, boring, or tapping. I am new to Hydex but no issues so far. Here are some videos live threading and taping.

Here is a link to a chart https://dzcues.com/ferrules_4.html

It's not if you drop it, it's when. After contacting the ball it doesn't matter.

This created more uncertainty. What you described makes no sense. It’s simple: shaft, vault plate, silencer/impact pad, and then tip.

After getting it side by side the original is definitely a bit more off-white than the phenolic. I did a little test to see it with some finish. the ring is thicker than the original so don’t judge that, it’s just a test piece. Visually it looks fine but zoomed in the phenolic “grain” is visible.

I did my first few cues with CA. It is a cheap and easy way to get started. It is simple and quick to apply. No issues with bubbles and polished up great. One of my first conversion cues I leave at my local hangout has a CA finish. I use it weekly with no real effort to protect it and the CA...

First details on the butt's construction will determine what and if something can be done. Existing weight bolts can also be an issue, but in general a plug of wood or phenolic is added to be able to thread for the extension bumper. Phenolic for regular bumper, but same idea.

Ok thanks. I had forgotten there was a white version. Also wondering if the black is ebony or synthetic. I know you can use anything I was just curious if anyone knew what he would have used for an easier match. Or if there was a preferred material for this kind of ring. I used a paper...

Thanks Kim, it appears too white to me and there is no visible lines or grain. Scott

Update: Here is the actual cue. I'm just inquiring if there is a known or at least common material used. The white phenolic I used was not exactly 1/8" (0.125) it was 0.131-ish so I had to hand sand each strip to fit. I'll clean up the billet soon and make some rings to test out and see if...

I am building a Kielwood shaft for a Carmeli cue and trying to match the rings. Any idea what materials are used? I don’t have a picture of the cue right now, but same as this but with cocobolo. Rings are the same though. Experimenting with some phenolic.

Anyone have a picture of this “Bondlock Interface”? Nothing on the site and no pictures I could find on the net.
