I've been doing some more playing with my CNC and thought I'd as for opinions. I've programmed to cut pockets for inlays in both clockwise (conventional milling) and counter-clockwise (climb milling). Visually, I can't see any difference in the quality of the cut. The other issue that I...

Tap, tap, tap!

I thought that might be it too.... Hi Jim, thanks for you input! I've got the CNC ready Taig 2019 with ER16, Keling steppers, Gecko 540 controller and using Mach3. I use BobCAD V19 to create my designs and generate the Gcode. I've also got one of the Wolfgang Engineering TB350 spindles, but...

Well, after a number of months of interuptions, I finally got a chance to start working with my CNC mill. I purchased some bits from Precise Bits based on the things that I had read about them on the forum. In addition, I bought some "cheap" bits from a guy on eBay. I figured I could use the...

Evaluating a lathe. I ran across this link a long time ago. It give some great advice on evaluating a lathe. http://www.mermac.com/advicenew.html

5/16-18 shaft I've got a new/unchalked shaft that I would sell for $90 shipped. It has a 7/16" black collar and a 3/16" Bocote accent ring. It has a Titan ferrule and a LePro tip. The joint diameter is .846" and the tip is 13mm. The shaft is 4.2 oz. with a stiff modified pro taper. It has...

Tool height Thanks for the input guys! I will be going with the 3/8" tooling. KJ, please don't take offense, but I do have to take exception with your statement about tool height. Ideally, the tool should be "exactly" on the centerline of the work. If your not on center, you are...

I just purchased a Harbor Freight 7 X 10 Minilathe (Model 93212). I haven't purchased tooling yet and I'm confused. Nowhere in the manual does it state what size tooling to use, so I took a quick measurement from the base of the tool post to the centerline of the spindle. It looks to be 3/8"...

Treating wood threads I use Minwax Wood Hardener instead of CA on my wood threads.

Enduro Poly Clear Gloss w/crosslinker here too.

Sweet!!!! Love your work Jim!

Brand new - unchalked I don't know what you consider "fairly cheap", but I could let you have the shaft pictured with this cue for $80 plus shipping. It has an .845" phenolic joint with a 3/16" Bocote accent ring, a Titan ferrule and a 13mm Lepro tip. It has never been used. It does have a...

Why spend $500...... ...when you could have this cue for $275 shipped. Specs 19.9 oz. balanced 18.5" from butt cap 13mm dia. tip .850" dia. joint (phenolic) 1.250 dia. Butt cap (phenolic) 5/16-18 joint pin Titan ferrule Sniper Tip Babinga Forearm and Butt Sleeve 4 Paduak points w/3...

Nice! Clean simple design. I like it!

Haven't had a problem.... ...but I haven't purchased any for a while, so the ones I have are older. Occasionally I have lost the first 1 or 2 laminations, but I attribute that to not using a new (sharp) blade when shaping. As long as my blade is sharp, I don't have any problems.

Almost new custom This is one I made last year. I used it for a while as my personal playing cue, so it's technically used. Asking $250 plus shipping. Specs 19.9 oz. balanced 18.5" from butt cap 13mm dia. tip .850" dia. joint (phenolic) 1.250 dia. Butt cap (phenolic) 5/16-18 joint pin Titan...

Thanks! Thanks for the kind words! I would normally ask more for this cue, but since it's been played (by me), it is used. Not to mention the fact that it's a buyers market for cues these days. Let me know if your buddy is interested.

Amazing first effort! That's an amazing first cue! My first wasn't nearly as ambitious. Then again, I wasn't lucky enough to have someone as great a Tony Z. to give me support:( You're a lucky man!
