For me this subject of shaft tapers gets over thought to the point it can make your eyes bleed reading about some of it. It is such a simple process to draw out a shaft taper. Simply decide what you would like your final product to be and put it down in the cad process. Does it really matter if...

John, I apologize for not making myself clear and you taking that I suggested Scott was a 3rd grade hack. That's not the case. However, I can take 2 cues and spray them with the same finish and they both will look amazing when I'm done. I can also undoubtedly guarantee you one of them will...

John... I stand by my personal assessment on a 2 part auto finish. However, I will agree that just because one uses a 2 part finish does not mean it's the end all. Proper prep and sealing pre spraying play a huge part in the longevity of certain products used. The choice of the actual 2K...

1k clear coat doesn't require a catalyst to harden; this means once this clear coat is applied to the surface, it will dry without any additives. 2k clear coat, unlike the 1k, requires a catalyst for the paint to harden; without the catalyst, the clear coat would never fully dry. Google used as...

I'm only trying to help. Some people just need a little nudge in the right direction. ;)

I'm sure you are gifted at something, I just doubt it's at building a pool cue if you can't figure out how to do one of the simplest and most fundamental ops that one might have to execute in their shop. Good God...just once, think outside the box even if it's only for 30 seconds of your life.

When you surround yourself with world class it's easy to become the same.

No... More customers ask for it now than pre-ban times. Don't have and can't get. The harder something is to acquire the more desirable it becomes. Human nature.

Buff lightly with some scotch style pad. Start out fine and if that doesn't get it done go long.

Thanks Sheldon...I'll give them a shout.

Can I get a rough idea what they charge to sharpen your 50 tooth blade? They charge you per tooth? Thanks

Is someone having a bad day? :LOL:

I believe what you occasionally run into is that the minor and major tolerances are already built into certain dies and taps. 13.(almost 3) should thread into a 14 tap hole with about the right amount of tolerance. For instance ...unless they're special made, a 3/8 tap rarely measures .375 from...

The the larger the coolant tank the cooler it will run. 115 degrees isn't nothing. Outside air temp out here is around that and I'm still alive! 😅 5 gal should be more than efficient, however, 10 gal would be better. If you want to run a smaller amount of coolant, coil some line in a small...

If the two halves are cut at an angle, you will be hard pressed to find the seam even with a loupe. The woods used can also determine the level of being hidden. Ebony....you'll never find the seam unless you get into a very high power magnification and spend a long time looking. But at what...

Yes, it is very possible.

Yes...it was aliexpress not alibaba that I used.

Yes, that was the original intent. Then this happened...... which changed the whole dynamic of the searching for pricing advice. The offer intent was not only made to me but others also turning it into basically an auction. Now, if you had replied to my PM or sent me an email asking for an...

Yea...I've never bought tips there and wouldn't. I'm sure they all come from the same factory.

Not sure what it is you're buying? My experience was just like buying off ebay here only it's coming from china so your wait my be longer to receive the item. Anything I've ever purchased was protected thru paypal. Not saying you couldn't get scammed and it may have it's challenges at times but...
