Ryobi Collet Size Hey Joey, Do you happen to know what is the largest collet/shank size that Ryobi can take? Tom

Bearing? Hi Willee.. is that bearing at the bottom of your tool a modification or does that machine come that way? Just curious.. Tom

Align Rite CNC Price?? I'm not sure. But I bet the one you see in the link above is cheaper than what I paid for the Gantry I have. I sent a message to Matt this morning asking if he will build me another Gantry.

Align Rite Gantry CNC Go here; http://www.alignritetool.com/cnc_router_poolcue.htm Call Matt and tell him that you want the Gantry model, I think they stopped making the Gantry in favor of the one shown in the link. :confused: I ain't convinced. The Gantry model is Great! :D Does not take...

Just curious, when are you going to the instructor class. I'm helping Randy and Oz teach a class there in mid-March. Later, Bob BTW Bob.. you didn't happen to go there a couple years ago on Valentines weekend did you? My wife Kim and I were there and your name sounds familiar and the guy I'm...

Hey Bob. I'm actually not sure if I'm signed up yet. I need to talk to Randy to confirm dates again. I'm wanting to go last two weeks in March. Anniversary cue! Wow.. I bet it is beauty. What do you think of Randy's Masterpiece? Got pics of yours? Jerry builds a great playing cue for sure...

That's good to know. I signed up weeks ago. Tried to get in touch this week and he hasn't answered me back either. Been there twice and come away better every time. Going for the Instructor class early 2006. Got my first Jerico at Pool School couple years ago. Tom

I'd bet you can do it. I have taught my wife & partner to use the CAD program for drawing simple geometric designs, plus she learned how to put in the tool offsets and make tool paths and to write the G-Code. She had no prior CNC experience but learned very quickly. I'll be happy to help if...

Leonard, Kim and I are deeply saddened. You have our deepest sympathy for you and your family for both of your losses. Tom

Rural I agree, go green acres all the way or else keep a low low profile. I don't even have shop visitors even though I'd love to. I just got through setting up my CNC shop equipment last month after I took most of it to high ground due to Huricane Rita. Trying to move several thousand...

Chris, that's an interesting bit of information. :) I just might pass that along because I am often explaining to people (non cue makers) that there are many ways to build a cue. Some ways and methods are better than others for sure, but just because one cue maker does it different from...

Sherm, Chris, Sheldon all great advice! Thanks. Right now I use a 12" and a 16" long 1 1/2" diameter delrin rods with a 60 degree center on it in my rear chuck to hold the center drill on my shorts inside my spindle true. I think the delrin rod is too heavy and maybe too long because it...

After talking to the guys in the shop I think this will not work. It may make the spindle bore bigger but most likely won't improve the concentricity. Sorry, had my head up my ...

I'd like to get my ID spindle bore running a little truer without taking it out and grinding it. (Taiwanese lathe) I built a set true adapter for my rear chuck, so I know my rear chuck and my main chuck are true. So when using both chucks I'm dead center. But the ID spindle is not true to...

Gas Nitride I made some about a year ago out of tool steel. Took them to work and had them gas nitride hardened. Hardness is about 70 HRC. Granted, carbide would be the hot set up. But mine are still the same size as when I started using them and they cost next to nothing, therfore I'm able to...

I've been using a Woodsucker for about two years now and I'm very happy with it.

Scott, looks like it has potential. What part of country do you live in? I'd give you a shop tour if you are nearby. That probably is easiest way to see what all is involved. Do you know if it has a hollow spindle and what size? Will this be you only machine?

We have a Sheldon at work that I'm trying to get. Nice machine. If your worried about yours you can put me on the "interested party" list. hehe :D I'd love it and feed it and take really good care of it. ;) Yup, I understand how you feel about tools. Most here can probably relate too I'd...

Agreed! Wouldn't have one in a production shop at all. My Cue Shop in no way approaches production or taxes my machinnes capabilities. Also agree! The stuff I've seen at HF is pure junk (IMO) but some of the Taiwanese stuff is pretty good. My Ramco is commercial Tawanese and I'd put it against...
