    Question about ebony, delrin and dymondwood...

    JRC, Do you mind if we circle back to "Well, I dropped my cue and it warped the extension. "? You stated the extension is only 2" long. By "warped" do you mean the pin got bent??? If so, why not explore having the existing pin removed and replaced? Just wondering, Gary

    CNC's for cuemakers

    Neil, I've been looking at upgrading my 2-axis tapering rig, so your question is of interest to me as well. The Centroid software demo video is pretty convincing. I guess my only concern is the pretty strict requirements on the control PC - something I had not planned on, but not necessarily...

    CNC Air Blower Source?

    I'm interested in what size as well. GPH is an odd parameter to size an air pump, though. And there's no indication of PSI, but who knows. Thanks for the idea, Gary

    CNC Air Blower Source?

    I wondered about something like that and if it would provide enough air. Not too expensive to test, I guess. Thanks Gary

    CNC Air Blower Source?

    Hey Guys, A while back, and I'm embarrassed to say how long back, I built myself an inlay machine. See post 43 in the below link for pictures: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=339520&page=3&highlight=cnc%2Cinlay I'm finally getting around to learning how to use it and have cut...

    BEST place to buy "SIZED; Colets

    I recently started using the rubberized strips that a certain cuemaker sells and I have been impressed with them. They protect the shaft or butt and one size fits all - no fiddling with a collet that's a little too large and the next one down is a little too small. I thought they wouldn't be...

    predator BK question

    I have never had any problem using CA to glue tips and carbon fiber pads together. But I don't use Loctite gel. Almost nothing will glue Delrin, except a special glue. My 2 cents, Gary

    3/8x10 Modified Pin question

    Ideologist said "It really depends on how the shaft was threaded. It probably fits. You may need to run a .300" reamer through the shaft opening, but I've never had to do that unless the shaft was undercut for a tight fit on a 60 degree thread . . . . " And to your point, the threading is...

    I refinished my cue and it turned out much better. Thanks to all for your suggestions. Size cut down for Dave :wink:

    Opinions wanted on clear finishes.

    This has been a great and informative thread, so I'd like to keep it going. I have a purple heart jump/break cue I've been working on and thought I'd try the CA finish on it. I rubbed in a coat of linseed oil, then two coats of thin CA, followed by 2 coats of medium CA. I sprayed accelerator in...

    Jump Break Cue Mod, Decals Alignment Help!

    You've got more problems than just the decals lining up. The forearm is tapered. When you cut it, the kerf that you remove will suddenly make the front half and the back half have slightly different diameters. Normally, we'd re-taper the larger side to match - oops, goodbye decals. There is a...
