Randy Yes, 401 is a great adhesive. It's actually a commercial grade product. Which really is different than the typical retail packaged products. The Loctite Professional is very good as well. We've used it for years with great success. The thing I like most about it is that it's always...

All the racks mentioned here are good products. As are the templates like the Accu-Rack or the Magic Rack. But, I'm going to suggest you look at it a little differently. First, learn about what's going on and what affects how the balls rack. You have to realize that balls wear and they weary...

It's been a really long time since I've used a pantograph, but I do remember the pattern thing being a little tricky. On my very first ones, I had the pocket pattern made, and then I moulded the part pattern from that. Later, I just reduced the stylus size by 4 times the cutter diameter. But, to...

You can get any of the OB shafts made to fit the JP series joint. They come with a solid black collar. and are the larger diameter and flat joint face necessary for the JP series joints. www.obcues.com Royce

Just think about it like this, They're all stripes. No, really, they are ALL stripes. The 1 through the 8 have a big wide stripe leaving only a small white circle left to each side of the stripe. While the 9 through the 15 have a narrower stripe leaving a much larger area of white. So, they...

That's funny Regular single layer tips aren't made that way, so I guess none of that means anything. Royce

Canadian I'm very glad to see that you've done some research, but I also want to remind you that our government (and many others as well) is all about politics these days. And politics is about money, so they will follow the lobbyists and the money. It's all about chest pounding and pocket...

Matt First, I don't think the ivory issue has anything to do with pool cues. I don't think it has much to do with anything that ivory is used for either. It has to do with politics and money. It serves as a vehicle for chest pounding and pocket lining, both very closely related. What Thomas...

Joey From what it looks like, the GS2 does have a built in potentiometer in the keypad. Also, it looks like the keypad can be separated and mounted remotely. That way you can put the VFD out of the way, and mount the keypad in a convenient location for use. Royce

Jake I just looked up that GS2 and I think I'll try it out for my next project. Looks pretty good, and the price is great too. Royce

The VFD is the only way to go. As Jake said, just get rid of all the VS stuff and direct drive the motor to the spindle. This may take a little engineering, but it's well worth it. Here's a good VFD that is pretty user friendly and works very well...

That's it. I bet it works pretty good! Royce

I've seen what James has put together, and that's not it. What James has built is a sander. It would not be good for making dowels from squares, but it's great for sanding shafts and such. I'm sure James will come back and show some pictures or videos of it. Royce

Well, I understand that this may be the case for you. But, I've never found any conclusions demonstrating that a change in balance will change the force that a player swings the cue with. When it comes down to it, the player applies a certain amount of power, propelling the cue at a certain...

I'm sorry, but I have to question some of your statements. A pool stroke and whether a cue shaft is low squirt or not are completely unrelated to each other. The stroke is about speed and consistency, but low cue ball squirt is all about aim. Of course, you can develop a great stroke with or...

I understand, but that really has more to do with accurately you direct the cue into the cue ball than anything else. For the purpose of a practical discussion on break cue weights and how they effect cue ball speed, you have to assume that the cue is directed linearly at the center of the cue...

I think there's been some miscommunication in this thread. It all revolves around the statements of speed. In reality, there are 2 different speeds being talked about. The first is that of the actual cue, and the second is that of the cue ball. Of course, it's very simple logic to say that a...

Kim, I think he's referring to the cue speed. Royce

Just turn the rack sideways instead of longways. Try it. Royce
