Or maybe after getting your fianancing at Gryphon.com one could go to gryphoncnc.com :) Gary

That's a financial site WTH???? Gary

Hey Guys, There used to be some discussion of CNC here, but it has faded lately. I've got a 2-axis DIY taper shaper that I made. The computer is Windows 7 32-bit, running Mach3 driving a Gecko G540 from the parallel port. It works fine, but updates to Windows 7 are getting few and far...

It looks to me like the cue on the right has a stainless steel joint collar. If that is true, there's a ~1oz chunk of metal in the middle of the cue that does not enhance the transmission of vibration down the cue. If not, then never mind, My 2 cents, Gary

Boiled Linseed Oil perhaps? Gary

Did you notice the date of the post you replied to? Gary

Hey Guys, A friend has a McDermott with a quick release SS collar/pin assembly that is slightly loose. It will turn approximately 5-10 degrees with a "click" at each end of the twist. I can't get it to turn any further by hand. With a shaft attached, when it unscrews that little bit, it...

JC, Thanks, I hadn't seen that one before. For a giggle, go to http://www.drcarom.com and select "Translate Page" on your browser. Some of the translations come out pretty funny. :thumbup: Gary

Hey Kelly, I was trying to remember the name of a curve a rope makes when you hang it from two ends - catenary! Thanks for that. I guess I should add that when I use the term parabolic curve, I'm not referring to any curved profile on a shaft, but one that was intentionally shaped to the...

Shakes, Any Engineering curriculum is pretty tough, so good luck at that. And, while I learned all the theory behind math, you engineers are more familiar with the applied use of it. Yes, we are in agreement on this subject. Gary

Wow, I go away for a day and look what has happened! First of all, Todd, I hope you didn't take my post as criticism, it certainly wasn't meant to be. What I was hoping for was the discussion that resulted. As to Mr. Shakes, there are several of us here who have backgrounds in math and science...

Hi Todd, I just wanted to understand your statement "First by definition there is no such thing as a parabolic taper." a little better. Since there is a definition of a parabola, then there can indeed be a taper that follows part of a parabolic curve. Now, it has been stated here before that a...

Or you can use www.precisiontip.com FWIW I tried a Soft on my regular shooter. It just wasn't right for me, so I went back to a UltraSkin Pro. I think they are reasonably priced and you can't fault the designer as he has impeccable credentials. YMMV Gary

^^^^ What he said ^^^^ LOL Gary

YouTube would be one place to start Gary

Chris has them on his site as well - a different style, but longer. https://www.cuesmith.com/carbide-thread-milling-internal-bit-1-8-shank.html Unfortunately both the internal and external are out of stock, but that might be short lived. My 2 cents, Gary

Hi Ernie, I've made a few BEM shafts. They attract a lot of attention in the pool hall! They hit well. The only problem I've come across is in finishing. The eyes are harder than the surrounding wood, so getting a smooth finish takes some work. Good to see you on here again!! :thumbup: Gary

It is your customer's responsibility to provide correct shipping information. Happy Holidays! Gary

Send a PM to Mr Wilson - He changed mine a few years ago. The nice thing is all your old posts are retained under the new name. FYI Gary

Sheesh, the last thing I want is another tip to stock. But given the reputation of the sponsor/creator I have to give them a try. I just ordered 5. We'll see, Gary
