    Coring, tolerances?

    Why constrain the cores to .750? My gun drills are .650, 11/16, .775, 13/16. By the gun drill and then turn your cores to match the tolerance you want with the particular glue you ultimately use. When ready to install ringwork, butt caps, etc, turn the tenons down to fit the mating component.

    Dymondwood butt and shaft dowels FS

    I have five butt sized (1.36" or so) dymondwood dowels and 3 shaft (about 1") sized dymondwood dowels for sale. These are original Rutledge turned from squares (I hope I never do that again). The 1" dowels are around 30" long, the large ones around 30.5" long. $55 for the butt sized dowels...

    Wood ID help

    Zoologists often argue about the taxonomy of various species. There is a lack of objective criteria that determines genus (some plants get switched now and then), but a lot of the decisions are made due to leaf form and plant morphology. The timber characteristics is probably one the last...

    So, how much really is "straight grain" important?...

    You can't look at slow growth/high ring count and say the wood will be more dense and fewer rings will mean less dense. It doesn't work that way. You don't know what conditions caused the slow growth. You don't know if there was a nutrient shortage or a water shortage causing the slow...

    Who recognizes what this is?

    Thank you kindly. My X axis has a different coupler that uses a harder red plastic spider. I asked the guy who helps support the old Techno-Isel (what I own) machines if it would be worth it for me to upgrade the other axes to the same. He said it would not make a difference in accuracy of...

    Who recognizes what this is?

    The encoder in my Z servo decided to go bad. The pic is what is left of the coupler spider after the crash at (probably) the servos top speed. I have been told when the spiders fail, they FAIL. With such a small travel (compared to x/y), it crashed at one end of the travel, then reversed and...

    Who recognizes what this is?

    Good guess but no. It is not any part if a cue.

    Who recognizes what this is?

    I thought posting this pic might be a change of pace for the forum. I'm sure a few of you will recognize it pretty quickly. It lasted 19 years before the (obvious) catastrophic failure.

    Been a while since I posted a cue in the gallery. This cue was recently delivered to an AZ member. All white except the ferrule is deer antler. I hope you enjoy. http://mvpcues.com/finishedcues.php
