Morning all! Was wondering if there is a toolpost size thats preferred because it lends itself to flexibility of attatchments. Ex. little machine shop qctp has a "OXA" which is 60% of an "AXA" size. Just trying to see what sized are preferred for running router mounts/ex tapering, and other...

those look like they are joey's

Yup! true statement. i do need one. I strive to come up with solutions and not only problems, i strive to "make do". Im pretty curious and ingenuitive, like im sure you know joey, necessity is the mother of invention. All the joeyjigs must have come from you saying at a certain point, "there has...

ya understanding that, trying to make do. not ideal but do-able. Space constraints made the taig based lathes an obvious choice. No space for a 13x40 or a nice heavy 10...Thatd be sick. But ya, still working to really set up and dig in. Just need to get all the "puzzle pieces"

On a midamerica pro, large bore headstock. Running a makita router, no taper bars yet.

Morning/afternoon all! Been making messes in the garage on the lathe. Respirator on of course. Been setting up to do tapers, been messing around with test pieces to get it right. Literally broomsticks, making "dimensions" i want to get to, and making all the adjustments to get it to them. Been...

the reason im trying to outfit a rear chuck/rear clamp is moreso for a jig. not to be used as a rear chuck for holding, just to outfit a jig

copy that. i was thinking that too. but id have have to dim out the sleeve and see if they would have enough meat to solidly hold a rearchuck.

Roger that Kim Bye. Will do

Does anyone know if a rear chuck can be attatched to the headstock of the midamerica pro large bore. I know i could just run a steady rest behind the headstock but i need to be able to clamp my piece as well as being able to have my jig turn with the main headstock. Also related but not...

Morning/afternoon all! Finally got the lathe in. Now that i have, was wondering where is a good place to find some accurate collets to keep the cue/shaft/butt/collars centered? delrin probably. Can Pm me, due to the rules about advertising certain sites. Thanks in advanced!

Aloha Mikesan, not trying to hijack, but what kind of tail stock is that on your lathe?

Evening all! Was wondering if anyone has a deluxe/midsized or midamerica they would be willing to sell me. Just getting started. Was trying to source a used one if possible. Also, giving notice, I am located in Hawaii, so shipping might or might not be a logistics problem. Have some cash...

Morning brotha, was wondering if you had any purpleheart dufferins by chance. PM me if you do

Maybe just overthinking it. But, when you live tool threads for the modified 3/8-10 in the shaft, are you: 1 center drilling, 2 drilling a hole small enough for the live tooling to go into with a little clearance on the sides, 3 using the live tooling to mach to .308, 4 threading the regular 3/8...

any chance youd be willing to ship a deluxe to hawaii?

Thinning the herd!!! 2x4 It's George Case Brown Lizard (I think) Has a few scuffs here and there, just from being bumped around the closet. (took as many pictures to accurately show scuffs so there are no surprises) Case was used for extra cue storage its whole life. Hinge closes flush, case...

Ill take 2 as well please!

Hey everyone, back with more questions. Im hoping it doesnt offend the seasoned cuemakers digital ears too much. Starting small, gearing up. Still have to get some machinery together. But, when making house cue conversions, often times you have to extend the butt after cut, for said reasons...

Yikes. I was told by "David Tickle" that it was zebrawood,. Guess it was misinformation. Thanks JoeyInCali for the update on materials, I respect your knowledge :) Thanks again and ill update the post!!!
