You might want to grab some Ultraskin Oinkers as well. I haven't tried them yet, but if they are as good as the originals...you can't go wrong on the price and you can have a great layerd tip choice instead of recommending the single layer like the le pros.

I'd suggest getting a set of DVDs and the book from Chris Hightower. You can NEVER have too much info on this lol. Plus an assortment of tips in all kinds of hardness levels. Also a good set of maintenance pins (male/female). A set of Delrin collets Cuetec cleaning liquid for the fiberglass...

Just sent $ for 2 tins please, 14 Hard, 14 Med & 8 Soft Thank you so much, Nathan Brugmann

Took awhile, but finally sold. Thanks for the interest!

Just bored out a collet I had using my butt taper bar....runout: .0005!!!! WOOHOO!!!! :dance: Plus I double checked my tailstock... it WAS off center just a little bit, so yeah, I could definately see why it kept doing what it was doing. The operator didn't check and do what he should have lol

I know its a cuesmith deluxe with the taper bars for the butt and shaft. Not exactly sure what you mean by compound....sorry, still trying to figure all this out. :embarrassed2:

Thanks for the tip, will do that!

So I decided to rebore the jaws yet again. This time I took a sharpie and colored in the contacts of the jaws to make sure the boring bar was getting all 3 jaws. Using the power feed to make the pass as smooth as possible, I bored .002" per pass. After numerous passes, all the sharpie was...

no, I did what Chris Hightower said to do in the procedure he wrote. After fixing the chuck so that it doesn't stick, to open the chuck all the way, then close it about a 1/12 of a turn, then bore the jaws. I used a ground 1/2" pin to check the runout.

So I did the procedure tonight, and yup....at the end of the scroll plate was dinged a bit so I ground that down and now it doesn't stick at every 1/3 turn. :) I think everything is going good, so I rebore the jaws. Using the big boring bar I have in my quick change, it vibrated pretty bad...

ok, so after doing lots of reading and searching...(THANK YOU ALL BTW!!!) I put my dial indicator on the cross slide of my deluxe, and a gage rod in the front chuck and checked it out. Zero'd the indictor...It's got a runout range of .004 (+.002 then -.002). I also read on here about the...

So I've been struggling with this for awhile now. For whatever reason the butt and the shafts don't match up just right. (see pic below, it's not this drastic, but this was the best way to show what I mean) I've drilled, bored, with a collet, without a collet...it doesn't matter. I get the...

GREAT, sending payment in just a couple minutes. Thank you very much. I've been reading on here that you're the man to deal with! :thumbup: Nathan

Well crap, I just ordered 20 earlier today lol any chance I can send the difference and get 10 more?

I got some of this acrylic off ebay My girlfriend's daughter loves playing pool, so I decided to make her a cue. Her favorite color is green, so I got a couple sticks of this, it's called Isotope. This green looks just toxic lol It was square, so I cut the corners off to start rounding...
