    Why only 4 veneers?

    Joe, when talking about mitered veneers, less is harder to do. I believe that 4 pint and 4 veneer stuck has to do with the titlist cues that where made. The more veneers you add, the smaller your point wood will end up. Oh and 4 is the easiest number to index. As a small side effect, you can...

    sanding arbors

    To answer your question, stay away from your insert idea. This gives room for play. You will want a pre - finsih and finish size sets to ensure equal clear coat thickness all the way around your joints. Now please don't be offended, if you don't have the money, hold off, buy quality mandrels...

    Mach3 E-stops when spindle starts

    E-stop is an input signal. Neil, E-stop is an actual input signal into your printer port. If you are not using a smooth stepper or any other USB interface then you want to set a de-bounce on your inputs. This will not allow some noise to trigger E-stop. Check your general configuration in Mach...

    Maybe a newb lathe operator question

    Most likely a taper fit dead center. Was that large mounting plate screwed onto the dead center? If so, put it back on and gently tap on the back of the plate all the way around towards the tail stock to remove it. On the tail stock, just back out the live center with the handle all the way, it...

    Probably a dumb post about sanding mandrels

    That will work until? You will sand through the clear on one side. Steve Lomax is correct. You should take his advice. I know cause I did. If Steve has something to say, it would be wise to listen. JIm.

    What do you think of this seam?

    Lou, if you where not happy with it you should give the person that did the work a chance to correct it. If you are wanting conformation that it is a bad job you have it. I would rather try and make you happy then to loose your business. Please keep in mind though that if you want a great job...

    I just received a couple additional drill bits. Just in a few more 7.8 mm drill bits. These are still made by Titex. They are the same drill be as before with two changes. The first is that they are stamped with product information rather than laser engraved. Second, they do not have the...

    Techno Isel question

    Tell DZ for us that he actually wants a Kavo spindle and not a Precise. Petty much the same spindle however, coolant lines and pump are not needed. I would assume his interest would be because of the ATC. Imo. Jim.

    Techno Isel question

    If money is no issue, I say go for it. Personally I wouldn't spend $4000 for a spindle or $5000 for a fourth axis. Now I may feel different about it if e-bay was not available. I believe Dick is correct. Most likely that spindle is for someone making cabinet doors. What exactly are you wanting...

    CNC Linearity Problem - How to Troubleshoot?

    Oh Gary, the fun is about to start. Yes those rails will move. You can't rely on their stiffness to keep them straight. The last go around I actually milled channels for the linear rails that I used. That worked pretty good. It kept my 12" rails very straight. I gave up on 36" to 40" rails as...

    For Sale: Jensen 2007 Bubinga into Ebony

    I need to add that I received this cue directly from Mike Johnson. He is a close friend of mine. The ebony on this cue is jet black though the flash from the camera does not show it. He has complained to me that he can't find figured Bubinga as nice as what he put into this cue. Jim.

    CNC Linearity Problem - How to Troubleshoot?

    Your rails are not straight. Gary, I have seen this several times. Mine actually only dip about .010". Your round rails did not stay straight when you mounted them. If you used screws to bolt them on, the rails moved sideways when you tightened them up. You will need to use an indicator on each...

    Is it possible to build an inexpensive lathe to work on my cues?

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to just get another shaft? This would be cheaper and you wouldn't have to go without a shaft to shoot with. I wouldn't bother with a cue repair lathe unless you have the extra cash and have allot of patients. Jim.
