According to the Wood Database, http://www.wood-database.com/ Osage Orange has an average density of 54 lbs/cu. ft. Hard Maple: 44 lbs/cu. ft. Gabon (Gaboon) Ebony: 60 lbs/cu.ft. Brazillian Rosewood: 52 lbs/cu.ft. Cocobolo: 69 lbs/cu. ft. Bacote: 53 lbs/cu. ft. So you can see that, on...

Another problem with aluminum pins is "galling". From Wikipedia: "Galling is a form of wear caused by adhesion between sliding surfaces. When a material galls, some of it is pulled with the contacting surface, especially if there is a large amount of force compressing the surfaces together...

It has been a while, but in the past there have been a number of different and ingenious jigs and methods of setting up live threading on cue lathes discussed here and in the Cue Machinery forum. It is not a matter of spindle speed at all, but of advancing the cutter along the axis to match the...

Todd, I would like 4. PM me the total. Thanks! Gary

Are you expecting the acrylic to be clear and transparent after the piece is milled? I've never milled acrylic, but I wouldn't expect it to be "pretty" once finished. My 2 cents, Gary

Google knows where to find that! http://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Mach3Mill_Install_Config.pdf Hope this helps, Gary

Hey Guys, I just wonder if anyone else has been looking into AutoDesk's Fusion 360 CAD/CAM software? It looks to me like a viable alternative to BobCAD-CAM. Just wondering what others thought. Thanks Gary

MG, I don't make the rules here, but I have no problem following them. In return I get useful information. So you advocate not following any of the rules of the forum, or simply following those rules that suit your personal fancy? Gary

This seems useless, but as a reminder there are some rules posted at the top of this forum and one of them reads: "Supply sources can be asked for, but all replies should be sent in the form of Private Messages. This protects our cuemakers supply sources from the general public. Almost no...

A2Z CNC is not simply an eBay seller, they have a brick and mortar here in south Denver and are alive and well. Here's a link to their website: http://www.a2zcorp.us/Quick-Change-Tool-Posts_c_31.html Their QCTP's are well made and not too expensive. :thumbup: Gary

"I did hear these saw machines cause sugar marks." So you apparently believe it if you choose to repeat it. Do you know what a sugar mark is? If so, do you care to explain how that could possibly happen? Gary

I agree with pretty much all that has been said. In addition - while I'm not a Lucasi expert, it is common for the butt sleeve to slide on over a 3/4" tenon. If you bore that out, the butt sleeve might fall off in your hand. It can be done, but you have to be careful and have an idea what you...

Hi Sheldon, Yes, there are 2 standards of grit ratings for sandpaper. I've got some 400 that seems more like 220, but I don't use that for cleaning. In my defense, I did write "to get the shaft "white" clean, you may have to sand lightly with 400 grit" etc. Of course, the word "lightly" was...

I use Chris Hightower's cleaning solution on really dirty shafts applied with Magic Eraser. Then I follow up with denatured alcohol and Magic Eraser. Finally, to get the shaft "white" clean, you may have to sand lightly with 400 grit followed by 600 grit and even 800 grit to get the fiber to...

That's the kind of stuff we need to know. You didn't mention the length of the weight bolt (I don't think), but without any bolt, the cue must weigh right around 18oz. You said you are looking for 18-1/2 to 18-3/4. I'm having to assume the weight bolt is headless - more like a large set screw...

What weight is your current bolt? Do you know how much lighter you want to go? For the most part, weight bolts are standard bolt sizes and can be purchased at the local hardware store. In your case, the head has been drilled and tapped for the bumper screw - that is easy to reproduce. Can you...

Todd at MidAmericaPool is a good place to look. Here's a link http://midamericapool.com/index_files/Page527.htm I'm less familiar with Chris Hightower's mounts, but I'm sure he could help as well. I make my own. Gary

Tom, "New Sibs"?????? Did I miss an announcement? Gary

The benefit of owning a cue is that you are playing with the same cue every time you play - same weight, same tip, same balance, same feel, etc. As to which cue to buy, well that is a personal decision as to what feels best to you. The general "for sale" forum here would be a good place to...

Cachiocca, Your analogy between the physical shock waves associated with the hit of a cue and neurological "shock waves" of a fish hook in your finger is completely off base. One is a physical phenomenon and pain is a chemo/neurological phenomenon - they have nothing to do with each other. I...
