Joey, how is that applied? Do you just brush that on? What would be a good UV Light to get.... as in something fairly cheap? :) Don't want to spend much unless I will really use it.

I've been watching as well. I am getting to dislike Ceramathane. I like the finish I get but it takes for frickin' ever. I'd love to go to UV but the hazardous chemicals, dangers of explosion and the cost of the UV lighting system just kinda turn me off (I work in the basement of my house)...

Since you don't want to ship them, why not put them on Craigslist? Hint: Clean up both lathes and take better pics in the light. No offense meant but they kinda look like junk in the pics. $500 is a good chunk of change for a used HF lathe and most people really don't care about having a 2nd...

Jack, you actually want to buy 2. A Finger type and a Plunger type. - Finger: For truing up center, indicating along length and small height diffs. - Plunger: to attach to lathe to see how far the carriage moves when drilling, turning, etc. Poor man's DRO I really like the B&S Bestest. Never...

The easiest way is what I said. You're way is more accurate though. You'd have to buy a long perfectly true rod that was center ground. Chuck up dead centers in the HS and TS, put the bar between the 2 and indicate. If you chucked it directly in the jaws, if anything was cocked the slop in the...

Put a ground pin in the chuck of the Tailstock and tighten. Loosed alignment screws on Tailstock. Tighten the lock for the handle on the tailstock (the one that is for drilling) Slide TS forward and tighten pin in headstock chuck. Tighten down the alignment screws on the TS. Loose headstock...

I believe Joe's email said you had to call his shop and personally talk to him to get your free tips :)

Yup. Don't know about the 1/3 though. I have them listed on my sheet as selling for $15 each at that time and my cost listed as $10 each so I put the price in the middle. In no hurry to sell so keep looking for a cheaper price. I don't do many tip replacements and when it do its either Moori...

I will sell you 3 of them (soft, med. & hard) for $38 shipped.

I worked in a couple shops years ago and Safety Glasses were always mandatory. In a home shop its easy to dismiss it since nobody is there to bug you about it. I am lucky since I wear glasses anyway so I always have some eye protection on. I put on safety glasses that cover the bridge of my nose...

I was flashing a Butt with Cyno. I put the cap of the bottle when I finished like I've done hundreds of times. This time however there must have been a drop that ran down the spout. When the cap snapped, that drop of Cyno splashed me right in the glasses and on my cheek. No glasses could have...

Your lucky, wood is much more comfortable on your feet than concrete. Probably want to stay away from Tile. If you're going over T&G the tile will either break (ceramic or stone) or come loose (vinyl). Go will sheet goods. I would talk to someone who does floors for a living. You might need to...

I agree with this. I used a lighter stick to break with years and only did so-so. I made one out of Ebony and PH, weighs at least 25oz and it breaks fantastic! The ladies on my team who have a weak break did very well with it. I know the tip only contacts the ball for a split second but if the...

I think most do it for 2 reasons: - Thats the way its always been done - Ease of machining. Once assembled you just run the taper down the entire butt length Any Cuemaker should be able to make one with that straight section for you. If you have an existing cue that you want to have cut...

Never ordered from them Check with the BBB. They may be able to tell you if they are still in business

I use a long rod and an indicator. The coaxials are nice but the one I have doesn't stick out as far as I want. On a metal lathe they would work fine but on the small Taig based lathes like my Deluxe those beds are hard to get perfectly flat and true. Just know that those Coaxial Indicators are...

I definitely saw one on Ebay 6 months or so ago. Someone was talking here on AZ about having some made but I don't think there was enough interest to make it worthwhile. I think they said they had to order something like 100 of them.

Joey's Jig is for getting your Points even.. If the problem is they are warping, cut less, wait more time between and use a sealer. If the end is rolling out. The problem is most likely how you put the shafts in the lathe when facing off the end after/when putting in the insert. If you hold...

Joey wins. It was threaded on. After I turned some off, I saw the threads. Twisted it off with Channel Locks. Joss Cue, has a threaded BC at 7/8-14. Now to decide if I wanted to just trim it down to .760 or pickup a 7/8-14 tap. Not even going to look for a replacement BC... probably cost as...

Thanks Kim!
