I do the same but square the corners before I finish the cue.

I use a lacquer based sanding sealer but only after the final cuts and sanding.

Unless the Chinese are making them exactly the same as Dufferin used to, that sure looks like the Canadian version to me. It was their Excalibar model which was ebony into curly maple. The pin was 5/16x14 with what they called their glider joint. The shaft has a short wood dowel that fitted...

Some pictures of the butt may help identify it.

The only Canadian Dufferin cues that I know of the had (bolts) screws in them were the ones that screwed right into the wood. These were generally the one piece cues. The screws had an Robertson head (square hole) wood screw on them which definately identifys them as Canadian. I am not aware...

Before you crucify Odie, he is the one that is running the snooker in Ontario. He currently has 14 qualifiers for snooker in the Toronto area. They are all listed on Snookerline.com. There is not a 9-Ball director in Ontario but there are some qualifiers running. Anyone interested in...

Again thanks for your help. I will try the end mill.

I got a fairly large quantity about 11/2 years ago. This is the material that I am using. Before that I used the Ivorine 3 and had no problems with it. I do not like the new Ivorine 4 so I went to LBM.

Thanks for all the help. I experimented with something else after hearing from a few of you and it seems to be working. I am centre drilling and then going with the 3/8 bit in stages at 325rpm with water sprayed on it. Seems to be working. Thanks again.

I have a bunch of LBM and am having problems drilling it. I am trying to put a 3/8 hole through a 1" piece of .560 ferrule material. I center drill it. Drill it with a 1/8" bit, then a 1/4" then 5/16" then 3/8". I am currently turning the lathe at 500rpm but have previously turned it faster...

Thanks for your ideas. I will try a couple of them.

I'll send you a set. They will still have some wood on them.

I have a number of old Bunjee cues that are no longer usable but I would like to save the inserts out of them. I do a lot of snooker cues and make extensions for most of them. Because these are quick release they work great for the extension. I cut the inserts and pins out of the wood and...

You don't need to replace the rail, just the rubber. It can be ordered from any table supplier. Don Broos who posts on here could get it for you. The old rubber would have to be removed and the new rubber cut and installed and then recovered.

It is not a difficult conversion. Any good cue repair person should be able to do it. You will probably lose about 1/2" in shaft length though.

Glue I changed over to the Loctite Ultra about 11/2 years ago and it works for me.

I agree. Change the name to Cue Machinery and Supplies.

I watched some of the Venom Trick Shot Video at the Canadians and it is amazing. For those of you that haven't seen it, it should be on your to do list. I meant to pick up a copy but our team did so well (3rd B mens team) that Don and Nick were gone by the time we finished shooting. I'll get...

The inventor stopped having them made up. I used to install about one a month but don't have any left. I will check with him and see if I can talk him into getting some made.

I would ask the same question in "The Room Owner Discussion" forum.
