Hi, Here's a little tip for installing inserts. Use .500 nominal size material cut it 1.75" long and drill a 1/8" center hole for glue relief. Hold the insert in the chuck 1/4" with the other side in a live center and turn down to .494. Step drill the shaft to .500 to a depth of 1.600"...

I love that wrap Martin and was waiting to make a 13 wrap order. Thanks for this notification. Rick

Kingpin, Order sheets of silver and cut the ID &OD on the CNC table. You will find you are paying 25% of the cost for each ring because the supplier pays you 90% back for the scrap on your next order. Pre made silver rings today are very expensive. Good luck, Rick

Awesome cue, very cool. The baseball stitching rings is icing on the cake! If the Cards beat Areita tonight they will win the series me thinks. If not, this thing is totally up for grabs. Too much talent on those two teams.

Great cues by the Master. Unreal collection!

Skins, The bore will always be concentric with you spindle but if your piece's OD is not indicated and chucked true, your ID and OD will not be concentric to each other on a cue. Rick

Hi, If you have hypersensitivity to saw dust from wood you should seek the advice of an allergist for testing concerning select species. From what I know these reactions only get more intense over time. My friend is 92 years old and has worked in cue shops for over 45 years. For his first 20...

Very very nice!

Give it back, it is his problem. If you try and force it it will be your problem.

Matt is so right Chris. I love EE but the cortland will give the old school look. Thanks Matt, this will be a labor of love for at great guy. Rick

I agree about the cortland. Hey Zig, call Peachour and order the cortland. Ship me the cue and the wrap and I will remove the EE, refinish the Cue and install the cortland on the house buddy. All you have to do is pay the shipping. He's right, this cue is screaming for the Cortland. Rick

Yeah I forgot. I had dowel pins added by my friend Ray who was a tool and die guy. My set up squares up and indexes on the pins and the two bolts just torque down. Sorry if I confused anyone. I did this in 07. Rick

Ok, There should be two Allen bolts on the top of the head stock which is a milled billet block. Loosen those bolts and lift the tail stock off the dowel pins. The plate installs under the block but you need to index the holes on the plate. Good luck, Rick

Hi, Take your final Butt diameter and subtract your final joint diameter and divide it by two. This will give you the Z taper offset for your cue between centers. Don't worry about the spur index device on the other side as it will be a non issue. Make a shim plate that has holes in it that...

] A serious question Ryan with all kidding aside. I believe you have done a ton of pin torching. Why did you decide to get the Miniductor? KISS would dictate using the torch forevermore because of the past success. Inquiring minds wish to know! Also do you use Butane or Map gas? Rick

Come on now Dave battery chargers are designed with circuit protection. Mine has a delay on the higher amp settings that allows me to heat my pin. Kill someone? If you don't think that people turn on chargers all of the time with a dead short on the leads by mistake, you are not living in...

Dave, Just a point of clarification: I checked my charger and it has a 150 amp boost cycle. The last time I heated a pin with it was about 4 years ago and I used 12 gauge copper solid wire. I still have some in my tool box. I initially remarked that is was only a 60 amp boost but when I...

I love you too Davy, Battery Chargers of old had very heavy duty transformers wound around an E and an I shape. As the other Dave pointed out some modern chargers have light weight circuit boards and chips. He made a good point! Mr. B, these posts are only a matter of opinion. No need to...

Dave, Yes maybe not such a good idea with a modern charger. I have a old Schumauker with a heavy transformer not a lightweight unit with the chips and circuit board. I use the 60 amp boost mode and the heat ramps up fast. Rick
