Muellers carries some of the accessories still but to the best of my research there are no Porper lathes being re-stocked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ask the cuemaker might be a better forum section to get an answer to that one. My research leads me to believe a lot of stabilizing is done with cactus juice and a vacuum pump as a general approach in many woodworking circles. If the stabilized wood has a lot of holes in it, check into...

Search Bob Dzuricky on YouTube ... not your equipment set up ... however you will learn volumes of information from watching anything he does. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I generally use the regular gel control for tip installs ... I imagine that either one would be fine since the regular gel control seems to be adequate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've always had pretty good success from ordering here: http://www.uniqueinc.com/precision_taps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for all of the great feedback ... I do have a 48" Mid America with the large bore chuck also ... I was mainly looking for an additional lathe to increase the level of precision for joint pin installations. My current setup does almost everything I need but I have been struggling with...

http://boltontool.com/Lathes/metal-lathe/metal_lathe_BT1337G I generally believed that a 40" metal lathe was widely used for cue building ... Is there any major reason this 37" would not get the job done ? The spindle bore is 1.5 and the 37" is between centers ... Says bed length is actually...

Thanks Jim ! I have been mainly doing repair work for about a year ... I have built a few cues mainly for personal use ... I have the Mid America 48" setup with large bore headstock ... Router etc ... I don't do any inlay work currently ... I was planning on entry level CNC work but mainly...

I am wondering what level of involvement CNC has in your cue making. I am looking to branch out and buy some new gear. I am thinking I could get started with a 6040 or even a DIY package to do inlay work for butts and forearms. Is a 6040 large enough for other work like tapering or should I...

Looks good ! What's the contact info to buy one ? As for the 29 inch issue ... You might be able to make your spoil board longer ... Attach your needle bearing center beyond the cutting head and then write 2 programs ... One to cut the compound taper 28 inches ... Then flip the shaft around and...

I think there is still a green one ... It's smaller though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think you are looking for this: Large Carbide Point Cutter for cutting Spliced points in forearms of cues. This cutter will allow you to cut points with base of the point 1" wide. 1/4" Shank 1.5" Diameter 1" wide Points at base maximum http://www.uniqueinc.com/inc/sdetail/3716/1029

I am in the process of setting up a website that will focus on cue building and cue repair instruction. In addition, the plan is to offer supplies and machinery that are designed for cue building. If you are interested in becoming a vendor in the form of educational material or if you are a...

I personally choose the loctite ultra gel control for tips. The gel control is a little more elastic and seems to minimize the amount of tips that pop off. That's my personal experience anyway. Good luck ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use the MidAmericaPool lathe equipment ... I started with a basic setup and accumulated additional pieces over time as my needs grew ... Presently I have the 48 inch with large bore indexing headstock and the larger motor plus a router mount for my cross slide ... I use this machine to build...
