I don't see the thread as being hijacked. We're discussing proper etiquette in such a case. No one wants to discuss or bad mouth a manufacturer of cues and rightfully so. If you want a feud go to the zoo or the main forum.

Mike... I took the liberty of editing your statements and RAH RAH! BTW -- welcome back. I'm sure it's a long one. :) I'd like to add.... 1) because they're keyboard commando's 2) sit there in their underwear with a can of beer 3) have no life, no love, no prospects 4) probably reside in...

I dropped the ball on this thread so... are you saying to cut down fronts to a certain diameter and have collets that fit over these forearms which then can slide them inside the spindle bore; then chuck up on them. This will allow the work piece to be stable and fit snug while inside the...

Hold on there!!!! I never said anything about Mike or anyone in particular. I merely said that in general, if it wasn't for low class some would have no class. It was meant to be 'tongue-in-cheek'. :p

Class!! Class!!! You have to be kidding! I can show you instance after instance about the lack of class on a daily basis. If it wasn't for low class, some on here would have no class.

WOW, this is getting deep.

Bingo! Bingo! and then you can core 12", 13" or 14" as we do.

You certainly won't regret it and all you need is a rear chuck, boring bar, air set-up and dust system. You'll be hours ahead and $$$$$ ahead by purchasing new not to mention the new lathe smell. :D Good luck as you're on your way. Post some pics when it happens.

I would have to agree with buying the 13 x 40 if for only one thing. The title of the thread is, "dedicated coring lathe". Additionally, the OP reinforces the title by stating, "thinking of buying a lathe just for coring so I can leave it setup". Therefore, why spend the extra money when all he...

If you are just going to do coring and leave it set-up then a 12 x 36 is your best bet. I would only purchase a Grizzly because you can get parts for them and quickly as Grizzly stocks most parts. With other lathes it is a job trying to get parts and buying used off Craigslist usually proves to...

At $50 each you did not sell them. You were robbed and without a gun. You gave them away. You can't buy decent Pink Ivory for the price of what you sold the cores for. Everyone who bought them should be extremely grateful. You could have gotten much more for them. But hey, what do I know.

. The absolutely best tool I've ever used to cut tips for a consistent radius is this tool. It's professional and gives the best results of anything anyone can put up. It gives the same radius every single time on every single tip. No guess work or inconsistency as with hand cutting. Of course...

WOW! You're absolutely correct as it is from France via Ukraine. I saw the Chinese style writing (at least it looked that way to me) on the handle so I assumed it was from China. But it's still not German steel like what we offer and I don't know about anything French. I didn't know they made...

GREAT! Glad you found an alternative to us. We cannot "meet my needs as a customer" as we are not a baby sitting service. Nielsen is great at 'baby sitting' if you require that extra special attention because you're not capable of doing the simple task of placing an order correctly the first time.

That's a great buy and sure beats paying $35++ for the same tool from Kamui Krap because it has Kamui Kraps name on it.

Absolutely incredible! That's the Chinese steel version to the German steel we offer for $16. You can't beat German steel but for price that Chinese blade is cheap. Just be sure to wear eye protection if the blade chips or breaks when cutting leather. Our offering is an alternative to Tiger's...

Wow - such clean and pretty work on both the above.

So much valuable information to be learned here. I was wondering if the actual color of the ferrule has any impact on the performance. In-other-words, would a white ferrule play better than a tan or black ferrule of the same product? I mean, there are different chemical make-ups of various...

No comment. :D

I don't quite understand. Everyone I know, the vast majority, including myself who are successful, are well organized. They spend their time moving forward and not moving things or looking for things nor do they work in complete chaos. If your business and life are organized things progress much...
