Lol. You got me on all accounts. Guilty as charged. http://www.uni-loc.com/uni-loc_product_catalog_joints.php If I had the time I would have copy and pasted the info from their website and added all the little "k" letters where needed. That way I would have been correct. Oh wait a minute. I...

Don't want to step on anyone's toes however Uni-lock is a trade mark name for the quick release joint used on the current predator cues. There is an import quick release that is not a Uni-lock and will not fit. Lease someone correct me if I am wrong. Jim.

That's great.

I can do every thing on my cnc machines that a pantograph can do. I believe I can do things in the cnc that the pantograph can't do. I have never used a panto however for someone with no cnc experience they would do well to start there. Jim.

Hey Gary, I have not chimed in yet because you are getting great advice. I too believe that building your own machine is rewarding. I also believe in learning from other peoples mistakes. Lol. Stick with quality materials. For the record I use all stepper motors and they are accurate enough...

Very nice find. Do you have any information like this for the female side? Jim

I have a used but in very good shape tool plate used to mount a Sherline rotary table and a Sherline tail stock onto a Taig CNC mill. Here is a link to the manufacturer...

Price drop to $65 shipped. This is a full size motor at 3.5" diameter. If you add a collet it will handle a 1/2" shank tool. Jim

Sold. And shipped. Thanks

I answered my own question Thanks

I came across another couple tenon threaders. These are 5/16-18 pitch. I did lower price to $25 each shipped USPS. I also took the time to cut a tenon down to .283" and tried the threader out. It worked as good as my Unique products ver. If interested please send me a PM and I will give you my...

All PMs answered. I still have a couple left. Jim

New lower price. $25 shipped. Jim

I have a couple tenon threaders 5/16-18 pitch that I would like to get rid of. Theses are new old stock. I can't be responsible for their use or instruction. If you buy it then it is yours. From what I can tell there is nothing wrong with them. Sale price is $25 each shipped USPS. Shipping is...

Tim, please don't be offended. You have asked a few questions that could not possibly be answered without more information. I will start off with "you would need different setups for turning a cue ver. inlays". There are some special machines ex, Cue monster, that will do both. Without pictures...

Well my setup looked good. Forgot to lube up the steady rest though. It made a loud squeal when I turned on the lathe spindle. Oops. Hey just kidding. Thanks for showing your set up Bob. You may want to clarify a few things though. Jim.

Nope You may want to ask this question on the Mach support forum. I use good old Xp. Computers are cheap with Xp already loaded. I don't use a printer port though as it is not as strong as a smooth stepper. Plus with the smooth stepper, I get 3 ports. Jim.

I am with Rat on this one. Jim.

What controller is best for you depends on a few things. For a small mill running stepper motors with specs less than 3.5Amps the Gecko G540 controller would work the best with Mach. Setup is relatively easy and if you have issues we should be able to answer most questions. If motor specs are...

Are you using a Router or a cutting tool? Live turning is the way to go on shafts and handles. Contact Chris, he has a few videos that he sells and a book. You will learn how to do most operations from this materials. Also he is a great guy who would be willing to help even if you did not...
