Don’t know if the house cues are warped or bent, anyway the sticks are slightly curved in the shaft area. Could this method work with a pot of time? Regards. Olaf

Thank’s for clarification, Erich. I guess, for a tight fit, the tenons were to thick or the bore of the ferrules were too small. So the plastic was under a permament stress that caused the fissures over time. Other explanation could be expanding glue, that built up pressure. I said I didn’t...

Ok, ABS is not the way to go. Bumlak, I see, the crack in the ferrule carries over to the wood. Did this all happen in gaming operations or without outside influences?

Yes, you bought it from me. Stored the cues safe with no significant ups and downs in temperature, and no sunlight. Placed them in the corner; cues are still straight and smooth (thank's for good quality Dufferin). Thank's for your hint with Fiber. What's the correct name for this stuff...

Kim, the ferrules have a hole the excess glue can squeeze through. NB no expanding glue was used.

Hi gents, 10 years ago I installed new standard ferrules on some one-piece-cues and put them away (never played with them). Yesterday I took a look at the cues and most of the ferrules got obvious cracks. All ferrules are slip-on type and capped. Some have screw-on cue tips, others have...

Thank’s for the hint with the full PM box; meanwhile I have deleted some older messages. Tools are out of stock. In the moment I am a little busy; working on a compact ammo counter with digital display for firearms. And newly I also suffer psoriasis with arthritis on both paws, which is...

Kim, I do 100 % agree with your statement. And also one famous female pool player from Sweden (damn, her name don’t come to my mind right now)* once said, that most pros could play with a simple broomhandle as long as the tip shape is right. And I don’t mean the shaft-radius or netto tip-dia...

That is an interesting thread. 9 ball, what you should try: Keep your hard tip and take another, “sharper” dome/curvature radius on it. CETERIS PARIBUS: The smaller this dome radius, the more you can go off center and the more you can transfer spin/effet (but maximum limit is dome radius =...

The outside area is still in contact with air. Oxygen in the air blocks the cure/hardening of the cyano. Therefore squeezed off glue should be wiped off to speed the hardening. After that, the small “glue line” has still contact with air. Now you can use the accelerator to cure that edge fast...

Not 100 % sure, but there should exist a special coating to keep a shaft straight. But I can't remember the brand name of that stuff. Regards. Olaf

https://datronshop.de/gewindefraeser.html They offer such tools with 6 mm shaft. Otherwise search for "Gewindewirbler".

Jesus Christ, this does not look like a ferrule replacement; looks more like criminal mischief. Hope that is a joke pic. Olaf

Thx Pat. Olaf

Rip, don't forget the Universal Tip Centralizer :smile: ; have a few in stock right now. Regards Olaf

Can’t say anything from personal experience about the Willard Tipping Machine, but I have an “old style” Porper Big Shaver. Imho it is a nice and handy tool for cutting the tip flush with the ferrule. But you need to take care not to scratch the ferrule. Best thing is to exercise the cutting...

Sorry for my impatience, but is there any news after nearly 6 (sic!) years? Kind regards. Olaf

Forget Shore A. As some guys said: Shore D is the way to go. BTW, you will find some videos on youtube where also the hardness of tips is tested with a shore D duro (and not only ferrule materials). Look for "hardness testing cue tips" on youtube and you will make a find. Kind regards. Olaf

Kim, could you write a short review about that lathe? Kindest regards. Olaf

Wanna also try them; PM sent. Olaf
