I would stay away from round rails, even mounted ones. The round carriages just don't have the minimal backlash that profile rails do. Something like these...

I'd guess that some of your chatter is due to the round rails on the carriage. You would likely see improvement by redesigning the cross slide to use size 12 profile rails. In all honesty, your lathe, as is, probably isn't any worse than the mid America I've used.. getting rigidity out of a...

Yes, need to use a thin rubber strip, then all is good.

My center steadymy design and did all the machining. Uses an er50 collet so I can get up to 40mm through. Quick lock for positionng along the bed.

As per most of the op's posts, there is really only one good response... ...cool story, bro.

I wear as many natural fibers as possible. I want my shoes to have leather without padding. I mostly wear wool socks because wool isn't just a great insulator, it wicks water and has anti-microbial properties. One of the previous posts talks about his shoes feeling like walking in soft sand...

Proprietary lace design that requires a certified repair person or the warranty is voided.

I started doing a full core about a year ago. The first time I was making cues, I quickly stopped using a metal pin in the a-joint and went to a long threaded wood tenon. I then started doing partial cores at the joint and butt, so it was a logical progression. I now use a 0.625 core with a...

Dress shoes as a rule. Frye or Allen Edmonds boots some. Never tenner shoes.

Nothing makes them play worse, either.

Junk. There are plenty of reasons to not buy a custom cue, makers who screw customers, long wait times, expense (not really anymore, when you kitty cues and messes selling for over 2k). To say they are junk is ridiculous. There are plenty that are not great, but a decent custom has more...

What you are working on is a collar more than a ring. A ring would be additional to the collar. Effectively the same thing in this case, but rings can be many places on a cue and tend to be used as a decoration between two segments. The first thing I would do is to take use a file or coarse...

Leaving that and filling it with epoxy shouldn't even be a consideration. I expect that as @aphelps1 said, you are at the point where you are removing the collar by turning it off to the tenon below. The lucky thing is that you don't have fancy rings to replicate.

Truly a cut-off date on those...

Read, 'the inner game of tennis'. It's only marginally about tennis and a lot of coaches make their players read it, including Pete Carrol of the Seahawks.

Liquid staking, I love it!

Well, shoot. Always something, sometimes it's two things. Can you measure the threads on the insert that broke? What are your fabrication capabilities?

Yeah, it's called, 'over constraining'... Just like I said in my first post on this.

Thank you for the reply. I'm not disagreeing with you on the wave transmission, it is easily proven with science, I already told you an example. If you want to agree to disagree, it isn't with me that you are disagreeing. I toyed with a conical joint long before ever hearing of one...

If it is acetal, it should tap beautifully. Acetals just don't glue well, so you might have to get a special adhesive or be creative and stake the insert to the butt sleeve. Apologies for any confusion.
