I bought the machine new. After adjusting the gib, and today readjusting the level of the bed...it's cutting a lot more accurately. I understand that this lathe is in no way up to the same specs as a good metal lathe, but as was stated, there is a trade off...and I agree with that. Now about...

Thank you for the info and tips guys, I really do appreciate them. After doing some research & reading, I noticed that the carriage was kinda sloppy. Meaning I could rock it left and right on the bed. So I ended up adjusting the gib screws on the back. Got it to where it's got slight...

So then I would have to move the tailstock with every dowel then, right? Since each dowel has a different variance of diameter.

I am using a Cue Smith Deluxe lathe with a power feed, Ridgid router, Todd's router mount with a 6 wing carbide cutter. Using the ground pin in the headstock that came with the lathe to check runout (@ about .001) I loosened the tailstock drill chuck and tightened on the headstock pin, then...

My opinion is to build 2 cues with it. 1 piece leave as is but cored with either hard maple or birch. the 2nd one, have it stabilized as stated earlier, and core with the same wood as the 1st one. Play with each cue for awhile and see how the differences are. That way you can determine what...

I've seen... similar looking wood at the bottom of my firepit. hmmmm, wonder how much I can get per brd ft. lmao :D

Awesome tips and suggestions guys....thank you so much!

Buddy of mine just picked up a 18" long square of amboyna burl. Moisture content is at 6%, plan on coring it. Should amboyna burl be stabilized first? If so, who would be the "go to" to have it done? Thanks in advance guys!

I dyed a piece of curly maple with the blue transtint dye. it's mixed 1/8oz dye to 4oz denatured alcohol. Let it sit to dry for 24 hours. Went to apply CA for the finish and I'm getting blue dye on my paper towel and it seem like the ca is not wanting to dry very fast at all. I've used other...

I contacted both, just waiting to hear back, thanks for the info :thumbup: Nathan

I've contacted a lot of tool makers, so I'm just casting a net out there to see who and will do it and how much it would be

I'm looking for a machinist or someone that can make me a m26 x 0.5 right handed bottom hand tap. Please contact me if you or you know of someone that can do this. :thumbup: Thanks, Nathan Brugmann

Auction ends at 10:30 AM on Sat. May 31 Central Time! (tomorrow morning) AND THE RESERVE HAS BEEN MET!!! So it's up for grabs now!!!

About at the midway point for this auction, and its getting closer to the lowered reserve price!

The original buyer was not able to complete the transaction due to personal reasons. So I relisted the cue, with a lower Buy It Now and Reserve Price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331211932849?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Hopefully I can get this beautiful piece sold this...

Thanks :) I'm going by what a VERY well respected Huebler dealer and good friend of Paul Huebler had told me about the cue.
