    Predator Shaft Question

    Any good repair man should be able to remove the insert and plug the hole. Then re-drill and tap. Make sure the diameter of the shaft at joint end is the correct size for the cue you are matting it up to. Jim.

    first lathe, need some help.

    Both the head stock and tail stock will have a morse taper. Most likely MT#2. I would get a drill chuck for the tail stock so that I could put either a 60 deg. live center or concave live center in it. Lee has them at Brianna product and he is not too far from you. He is in Quincy near Coldwater...

    first lathe, need some help.

    Look to see if there is a hole in the back of the spindle head. If so then use a steel rod that will fit the hole to pound out the spur. In the tail stock wind it quill back until the old live center pops out. This may not be easy as I see rust. Jim.

    Well Jim, I don't have your artistic abilities. Cue building is my hobby. This is what relaxes me and sometimes frustrates me to no end. If I am artistic outside of cue building, then I would say, that it is the machines that I build and the g-code programs that I have written. These are...

    Got My Deluxe

    ? Is this a stripped down ver. of the Deluxe? I have noticed that there is no taper bar or cabinate around the Deluxe. I would guess that the head stock will move up and down the dove tail alot easier and farther. Nice setup by the way. Jim.
