Nice Floyd-M, many things can be accomplished with balls to try and a little know-how. understood that it is POSSIBLE to have things be functional and work, still possible to shoot straight etc etc etc. Understand and appreciate input and others experience. To address again that its not so much...

Agreed Joey! Yup. unfortunately im working on a toy (even i look at it and am like" this is a bit small") for now. I refuse to lean on that as a crutch though. My main thoughts are: solid construction method/ideas, setting pins nuts on (as much as practicable or possible), simple sporty...

Understanding that everyone here has varrying methods of joining cues/components together, i personally would tend to lean more toward threading vs not. I have done alot of mechanical work involving assembling components of various machinery/equipment, and i understand and appreciate the...

sorry maybe wasnt clear how i phrased. only reason length would be significantly reduced if im trying to get to a certain dim at the joint collar. certain house cue blanks have one taper angle and that being said ramps up/ramps down significantly throughout the length of the cue.

Hey brotha! I know this is an old post but could you pm me. Had a few questions about tad cues!!

Aside from obsessing over Daves phenolic, we are collectively glad that you are okay also!

hey dave! nice. any particular brand of phenolic rod ?

on your what kind of lathe are you threading on?

thanks mike!!! the equipment definitely doesnt make the maker. thanks for sharing :) ill give it a try here! been experimenting with the flat bottomed end mill.

Not trying to be out of line in regards to which forum this is in, but would you mind sharing what style of router bit you are using for your points?

let me know if samy doest want them, ill pick them up. paypal ready! please and thank you!

afternoon, if you still have the cue, please let me know, id be interested in buying!

Afternoon all! This is bound to open a can of worms of OPINIONS, so for the most part, only looking for people who have actual first hand experience or POSITIVE theoretical suggestions. I know we go round and round trying to find out if the bkrush shaft is the 12.9 shaft in disguise. "Is it...

Id like to chat more about this some time if youd have time

Happy Friday All! Was wondering if anyone here has had success with modifying/fitting a smaller style cnc (more affordable ones like the kit cnc's) to fit their taig based lathe either hightower or midamerica. Intent for now, is do try and do smaller inlays. Dots, Slotted diamonds and Spears...

still...need to fab the taper bar follower for my midamerica pro crossslide. Workign on it today...rainy outside. probably wont do any cuts today.

thanks brotha! ended up getting hold of Deco. Appreciate the link brotha! Thank you everyone as always. I tried to look around before i asked...i hate to just run here before i try everything myself. Especially cause i was looking for one that would bolt up to a taig. Plug and play. Thanks again!!!!

I know midamerica has the mount for the rigid 2401/24012 and the mount for the bosch colt, but i dont recall who has the mount for the makita. Can pm me if possible. Please and thank you all. Hope you are all having a good weekend!

agreed. might give my cheapie tool post to the small parts lathe and switch the LMS tool post to the cue lathe. Just didnt know if i should get a bigger size.

ah i think i see what you are suggesting! basically like a non-connected carriage. If at all possible, im trying to keep all tooling running off the carriage. Keep variables down and precision (as much as can). Not to say your idea wont work. Ill give it a spin. Ive got plenty of dowells and...
