routers/spindles First off congrads, on your Hall Of Fame award. Unique's stuff looks very nice. As far as cost, routers are cheap, spindles are not cheap, but they last longer than routers. My NSK's are about $3,500.00 each, but well worth the extra money, been running NSK's for 20 plus...

works or not KJ, It's not something I would do. If done once or 100 times, it's wrong, but if you think it's ok to use the wrong thread, go right ahead.It's wrong, and could damage both the shaft and your reputation. BTW, I drink Landshark. blud

bad info KJ cues is giving BAD INFO, ABOUT MY CUES. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THIS CRAP.Just telling the truth, KC cues..... Whatever you do, DO NOT use a pin that is not the correct thread pitch, for my cues. This is bad advice. It's not quality work, by any means. This has been tired before and...

pool room know it alls Trent, Most pool rooms have at least 3 or 4, KNOW IT ALLS. Pay no mind to those types. It never fails, someone always butts in, when there a know it all. Truth of the matter is, they really don't know which hand to wipe with. blud

coring Trent, I would use only maple for the core, maple is less expensive than the other woods your talking about. Maple is much more stable, and is used by many cue makers as the core. I use shaft wood that will not make the grade for a good shaft. Make sure you have plenty of glue rings on...

CNC/saw fixture Joey, I built that fixture, sold it to Chris a few years back. You have NO over HANG problem. NONE, It's just good solid engineering on my part. Take a look, it's got heavy duty angles, it has no rails,[ DON'T NEED ANY], It slides with ease,[ slide fits between the angle...

software Joey, it can come with either, but steppers is what is used mostly, with the new software, when machining woods, [ cues], one can not tell which was used, sotware, is really good now a days. Steppers are a little less than servo's. If someone wanted servo's, of course there would be a...

bad ass Hi Harry, yes they are really nice machines, my machines cost a wee-bitt more than most, but well worth it over the long haul. There heavy duty, and hold up to day in and day out machine work. I put a lot of thought into my machines, therefore, the cue maker can keep on doing what pays...

either end Tom, you can start from either end, The drive spindle, [rotation] is always on the big end, of the shaft or butt, [ more surface for the drive to turn shafts or butts]. The tail stock is spring loaded so I normally start at that end, [ ferrule first, and joint end of the butt first]...

Hi Murry, will do, but the freight will be a little high. Hope you and your family are doing great. blud

machines Thanks for your kind words. Building machinery is not as easy as some think. It takes a lot of engineering and many, many hours to get to the finished product. I tend to build heaver machinery than most do. There are a few reasons for that. My machines are incredibilty strong...
