    Sanding Mandrels

    Marc If you are so disgusted by them god knows what, send them back, you asked for 3/8-11 and that's what you got, the tap was purchased from atlas, so if your pin doesn't match atlas 3/8"-11 tap, then I don't know what to tell you except that I purposely taped them with an undersize tap first...

    Delrin Gib for taig carraige

    Here are couple of simple fixes I came out with to minimize carriage binding. First Item: The lube was given to me by a friend who's a retired machinist, I was so surprised when I tried it and found out how great it worked Second Item: Delrin gib. The taig carriage was designed to work on a...

    Eric I am not sure why you have that opinion of me, at the time that you called, you were the one who asked for a tapering lathe, I gave you a price and never bugged you about it again, and here you say I kept on trying to push a sale on you. Second I have no idea who you are referring to that...

    Joe Put all things aside. It will be so much easier for me to swap out the mounting bracket and motor on your headstock than trying to send you a new one, just ship it USPS and make sure I receive it on a Friday, and I will ship it back with a new motor no later than Monday, also send back the...

    New Headstock

    Eric Just to clear couple of things up, first there is no copy rights violated with my dovetail, 2 years ago Taig's owner willingly faxed me the CAD drawings and the U-channel drawing and told me to buy my own extrusion die locally, cause it would be too expensive to buy directly from them all...

    New Headstock

    Eric You have hit lots of good points, and many that are true, the guys that I have testing my cue building lathes are cue makers, but not well known, the point I want to make is that I am not building cue lathes to get rich, I make enough money at my day job as an engineer, couple of years ago...

    New Headstock

    Just hold on a minute, what Joe stated is not entirely true/clear, I never said there was a flow in my design, I just clearly states what everyone else did, the taig carraige if not adjusted perfectly will bind, and when I said I was working on a solution, I didn't mean just to fix his lathe, I...

    One last remark I met lots of AZ members, during my last 3 trips to Vegas, and lots of well known cue makers and master Cue Repair guys, and they all like and appreciate what I am doing and trying to accomplish. Nevertheless there will always be some that will try to discredit me and campaign...

    Trent I must say, I am surprised to hear that from you. My goal from day one has been continuous improvement, and like I stated in the thread, this is only a cosmetic change, my headstock internally have been the same since the first one piece headstock was I introduced. One more thing, I have...

    Joe Originally I wasn't going to reply to your sarcastic remark, but now I will. Take it as a free lesson, first the carriage that you got is the same carriage taig sells to me Todd and hightower, the only difference is the pinion gear. Second I Send you a new controller for you Penn state...

My machinist can regrind them to what ever size you are looking for, then I can cut any thread size you need. Pricing...
