I agree that the Harbor Freight calipers work pretty well. I also like this one https://smile.amazon.com/VINCA-DCLA-0605-Electronic-Fractions-Conversion/dp/B017KUC6XQ/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Caliper&qid=1554130936&s=hi&sr=1-3 It is as accurate as my Mitutoyo and has the added feature of displaying...

The ivory from the keys isn't think enough to do inlays except for maybe a dot.

You could buy some 3/8-16 all thread rod, cut to the desired length/weight and then cut a slot in one end with a dremel. Works great!

Bava, The linen still has to be glued down - what glue sticks to teflon?

Kelly Peterson of M** Cues created a program that can be used to fairly accurately predict the weight of a cue to be built. (Trying to abide by the rules here). You can also core or add weight bolts to make small adjustments once the cue is built. It's part of the learning curve. HTH Gary

Elmers glue stick

Where are you located? There's a good chance one of us is not too far away. Gary

"There is a lot left out here . . . " Now THERE's an understatement!!:D Selkov, do you currently make cues manually, or are you looking to start making cues with your new machine? Gary

Hi Will, I run Gecko G540's as my motor drivers. Microstepping is set to 10. I have seen some drivers out there that claim to be able to go higher. There is a point at which your motors can no longer resolve the microsteps and you're burning up CPU cycles with no increase in detail. HTH Gary

You can brush on a small dab of clear nail polish, or cyano.

Will, You're generous to let ANY of that go! :thumbup: Gary

Dave, Thanks for the reminder. I grew tired of being the enforcer. :thumbup: Gary

You want your shaft to stay straight, right? It's too bad he's running that much over his original timeline, but it's not out of reason. Relax

Hi Kelly, Well, I would drill and tap my own. Then I can control the length, shoulder, and thickness of the cap to my liking. It's part of making and repairing cues. My 2 cents, Gary
