    Router Cutting Bits and Techniques

    Thanks Thank you for the responses, I am also wondering if most people use different router bits when cutting exotics versus shafts? Do others also install ferrule and joint collars when oversized and then make a final shaft cut which also cuts the ferrule and collars to size? I'm worried...

    Cutter to Use on Deluxe Lathe

    Considering a couple different bits... First of all, thank you for everyone that has taken time to share their knowledge. I just ran into the frustration of a bit dulling which resulted in some barber polling on shafts that were nearly complete. With that in mind I need to get a new slot...

    I have a Cuesmith Deluxe and I use the Porter Cable Laminate trimmer router. I have a newer deluxe with the variable speed motor control and the power feed and I run the lathe and the power feed at a pretty slow speed. I was just making some of the final cuts on some shafts and ended up barber...

    The new TAR table - What do you think of it?

    Table I think that Pros prefer a tough table and they don't want anything that plays too easy. However, with that being said, I think the table is playing too tough to make it really entertaining. I am enjoying the match, but I would enjoy it even more if these guys were playing wide open and...

    Carbide Mandrels

    I think I can tell from the picture, but are they 3/8x10 thread? I currently use 3/8x10 flat minor joint screws, but I can't tell for sure if that is what these are? Thanks, dakota

    Juma Ferrules - Hit?

    Juma Ferrule I play with Juma ferrules and I've built my first few cues using Juma ferrules and I don't think that they play very soft. I would personally describe the hit as a medium hit from the Juma ferrules. I first played with Juma on a Barnhart cue, and with the stiff taper they...
