You have all the tools in front of you. Bobcad is the first tool that you will need. This software will create the geometry that in turn will create the G code needed for Mach 3. Mach 3 will drive your K2CNC machine assuming that it is set up correctly. I am not try to be an ass here however you...

Patrick, be careful of those inlet fittings at the top of the spindle. They will snap off easily. I broke one just looking at it. I got the fitting out of the spindle but a replacement is not easy to get. I did manage to get one however it was easier to take the top of the spindle off, drill...

Dave, the coupler makes up for any miss alignment of your motor shaft to the leadscrew or ballscrew. If you just use a piece of steel that will not flex, where the setscrew is the leadscrew will rock back and forth and eventually come loose. This is a good area to spend a little money. I have...

A quick answer "Yes" but not much. Those bearings actually give in both horizontal and vertical directions. The bearing on the bottom helps prevent vertical movement. You will want two on each rail as far as you can get them apart. This will help on horizontal movement. If you add the bearings...

Two bearing blocks per side would be best. I am not a big fan of round in supported rails either. If you want the easy route add she extra bearings. Jim

Not that I know of. I would use Juma if I wanted to use black. Jim.

Actually Juma would be great for black or off white. I prefer Elforen for white with no grain. You have to get both materials from Atlas. Jim

Lol. I was not serious. You should be able to get it sharpened cheaply. I have a customer that actually has a drill master gun drill sharpener. Jim

Brent, what is the cost difference of re tipped to new. I would be interested in getting the old one from you for the difference. JIm.

I am confused! Earlier you where thanking people for their help and offered help to others as your now an expert with no explanation to the fix. Now you respond with "you will post information on issues that you are now experiencing in a present tense. Please stop the merry go round. I am...

I two would like to know the end result.

Weegee, it would not be common for them to be even .100" thick. Most of the ones that I have are about .075". They will not be too thin when you turn down the cue. The cue should only be .010" to .020" over size when you inlay them and the MOP should be proud of the surface. It may be an issue...

I have been quiet on this subject as I have only done this once. My question is to digdug. How do you think bridged points are done? I am not sure though that this topic belongs here in ask the Q maker. This section was for customers to ask qualified Q makers about Q issues. This topic would...

Just saw something like this at a customer's shop Actually this is a great idea. If you aren't capable of making them yourself the price isn't too bad. I ran into some made from wood 2x4s yesterday and was thinking of making something up. thanks for sharing. Jim.

I am pretty sure I have it figured out as well. No chance your trying to duplicate Mr. Lomax's hard work! Jim

If price is not an issue, why not just get Steve to build you a jump cue. He makes the best as far as I know. It takes more than just the pin to make a great jump cue. The only issue is he can't make them fast enough. That should tell you something. I have one and don't regret it. Jim.

That is a great company to deal with.

Rick, put an indicator on one side of your X axis and load it up half way. Then physically push against it in both directions. The indicator will move, however your are looking for the difference after the x Axis springs back. If you have something loose it may show up there. You will want to...

Rick, are you saying that just by rotating the A axis that X is showing off in reference to your line. Does this happen with A axis being the only axis that is moved? Or is it happening after you have finished a full program and X axis is rapid ed back to zero position? Jim.

I would have to say that I agree 1000% with Jake on all issues. Rick is X axis your long travel or short across the cue? Jim
