My next payday I'll have save enough money to purchase the basic lathe set up with 4 foot bed from midamericapool.com Before I pull the trigger I figured it can't hurt to see what's out there and maybe get lucky. So if anyone has anything they don't use or need to get rid of to upgrade etc let...

I have played with a Predator P3 series cue before, can't remember which model specifically at this point in time but I loved the way it felt for being a production cue. If anyone has a good deal on the new P3 racer wrapless or the plain black P3 Also I would be interested in some of the Ikon2...

I have a purple heart break shaft made by Scott Erwin for my BK3. I picked it up from him on the open billiards market facebook group. It is made with the predator uniloc joint with a plain black collar. One piece G10 tip/ferrule combo. Just over 13.25mm. I don't know the exact weight of the...

I would have to agree here, I purchased the entire video collection from his website. For about 40 dollars I got 14 hours of videos and a few ebooks as well. There can be some repeat information that I'm sure anyone who has played before has heard somewhere. The way Tor presents this...

I have a used OB130 with an OB2 shaft. The butt of the cue is in great condition, there is a slight wobble in the shaft but otherwise no issues. I'm looking for a new cue and could use some cash in hand to help jumpstart the saving process. Or I could trade my OB plus cash for either a Predator...

Yes there is, it's hard to see, but it is visible in the photo.

I work full time as a Machinist, and I've heard many people say the little harbor freight lathes are built pretty well actually. Look around your local craigslist postings, sometimes you can find a bench top lathe that's a little larger than the 7x12 for around the same price or even less. Takes...

I have my own sort of harbor freight set up that is crude but functional for very basic things. Anywho, I'm squirreling away some money for a better set up. I've narrowed it down to two options that I like. The first is from Mid America pool. It is the basic lathe with 4 foot bed...

I'm looking for a new predator P3BW it's the low end of the P3 line with the high gloss black finish and leather wrap. Comment or PM me prices, I have a used OB130 with an ob2 shaft for trade if necessary. My birthday is tuesday so this is likely going to be a gift to myself.

I recently got suckered into buying and heavily modifying a cheap lathe set up on ebay in order to do my own repairs since there are no local cue makers or cue repairmen reasonably close to my home. Anywho, I wanted to buy a bunch of tips fairly cheap in order to practice with before I tried my...

That's all I needed to hear, I've been looking periodically for a review on Midamerica equipment and you're the first I've seen. I work as a CNC programmer/machinist so acquiring tooling/making attachments should be no problem. I just don't have the money on hand yet to invest for a full size lathe.

I would have to agree, I can't see why anyone would get upset as long as you're obeying forum policy. I order almost strictly for myself, but love your tips. Talked a few friends into them as well. I live in a small town of about 1000 people and they're taking over pretty quickly.

I like the way the blue and the black look together. good stuff.

I purchased a taom myself and installed it on a spare shaft I have for my breaker. It was a task to get on and flush with the ferrule by hand, but it went. Not the prettiest tip job I've ever done, works for me though (I'm no professional by any means.) I've only had time to play about 5 racks...

I've been considering the same thing. Can't seem to find any reviews on it so I'm a little uncertain still, but I'm not in a hurry to buy. I assembled something similar to the one you found on ebay with a drive arbor that fits the thread on my shaft and it works alright for shaft cleaning. Doing...

I would rate myself above average on shot making ability. I play in the APA (8 ball) in my area as a 6 and I'm happy with that, but I know I can do better. My biggest ally is my break. I have a large frame, and lift weights competitively in my free time so a power break spreads the rack wide...

I can't get that link to load.

Like anyone else I have googled this before and found some suggestions, all of which cover the same general steps, but the differences are enough to make me curious what a real cuemaker might suggest. So, I have an OB2 shaft that sees play at least once a day for a short while I try to clean it...

And what kind of PSI can one expect from the average break shot? You don't give anything to compare it to. Just because they shatter at 750 doesn't mean squat if the average player will only put the tip through something like 500PSI. Your posts are vague and leave too many questions unanswered...

My grandfather has been running an archery shop since the late 60's and he does the same thing with his repair work for bows, arrows, or anything of the sort. He uses excel primarily because it's easy for him to use considering he's not the most computer savvy You can look up templates for how...
