Blue Hog is correct for the most part. LOL. Why would you want to repair shafts on a lathe that cost less than the shafts themselves. If you have a small budget maybe cue reapair is not for you. If you make a wise investment in equipment, notice I didn't say cheap, it will pay you back 10 times...

Bill, thats not fair!:confused: He hasn't been around long enough to understand that statement. LOL, Jim.

BENFICA, maybe just maybe, I do know what I am talking about. I have already been down this road and I know where it goes. Good luck with your new machine. Jim.

I'm confused, are these Bassel's ideas or real cuemakers in the buisness? I am quite interested in what you have seen, adviously something that hasn't been posted yet. When Bassel comes out with his own designes and I am impressed, I will state as such. I am sure that it will happen once he...

Nice Job Chris! I didn't think it would be possible to get that large of a bore into that Taig headstock. I prefer the Taig for several reasons such as the T-nut slot. I have noticed that you are offering it on your midsized and not suggesting you will be dropping your Deluxe. I understand the...

This is a matter of opinion! The cheaper these lathes get the less others are worth. For an example the Deluxe lathe from Chris. The re-sale value will have dropped quite a bit as these newer knock offs come out. Is this good for the buisness yes or no? Does this help out suppliers like Chris...

Guys, stop giving suggestions. He knows what he is doing. LOL, Jim.

Sir, I am not wanting to be rude here but, you have already designed out items that are needed for this type of machine. I have watched your machines as you posted and watched you do exactly that. I would suggest that you consult a cue builder befor you finish this job and then post pictures...

Check the cheap bits under magnification Bill, the cheap bits that you got may in fact be drill bits. They look almost the same. Under magnification you can see that they are not bottom cutter (fishtail bits). This could cause alot of issues including breaking. If you don't mind me asking...

Hey, I don't talk about the size of your spindle. LOL. You are correct. If my customers from my real job would just stop calling I could get some real work done including inlays with smaller bits. Jim.

Sorry Dick, you are correct. I just haven't been playing with any that small yet. I have broke plenty of the slightly larger bits that cost around $10. I would have to hold my breath on a small .010 or .005 bit as any wind would most likely break em. JIm.

Pete, I know what you mean. You would think that the heavy end would hit the floor or table first. I think I would rather just burn a $10 bill as it takes longer to loose. Now as a fix to that, I have an atc on my spindle that is air powered. They come out of the collet supper easy and you don't...

Just go to e-bay and search for 12v power supply. Then find one in the DC power supply area and do a search for 12. A hole bunch will pop up or just search for this item # 270595228193. Most of the good ones will come from China however they are actually getting pretty quick about shipping from...

Actually, this doesn't sound bad. $105 for a good dc motor and controller. Sherline gets up to $300 for their setup. If someone wanted to just make one themselves even cheaper. By the way, I should point out here that it would just be cheaper to buy a power supply on e-bay and add the $20 for...

I didn't know that Kress was offering the slower modle. By the way the faster goes up to 32K not 29K. When I checked my sourse you where correct though. I would agree that the faster one will be better. I did notice that my sources prices have shot up. Jim.

I use the Kress 1050 220v for turning. It is better than the 110v ver. Less vibration and noise. It runs very quit compared to the Porter cable and alot less vibration. Hands down I would get the 1050 220v of the Kress. Along with it I would get the 1/4" and 1/8" collets. It is easy to cut off...

Tony, great cue. Any chance you could send it to my house instead. I would be happy to Email my address. I will use the name Kenny too. Jim.

I am confused! If this is an AZ special, why are two identical units for sale at the same price on e-bay? Selling your products at a cheap price is not what fellow AZers ment by you contributing to this forum. good luck with the sale. Jim.

Not sure I would want to do points half splice style. Wouldn't that add too much weight? I think I would prefer to flat bottom them in. Google RT research for what you need. Jim.

Are you wanting to sand on shafts or handles? I would get a good set of maintenance pins like these: http://www.cuestik.com/store/?DEPARTMENT_ID=190 Jim.
