That is a fine concept. Such a small core could complicate A-joint and joint designs. If a 5/8" joint collar is installed, it would be installed over only a 1/16" annulus of the host wood. That strikes me as a bit unusual and the face might look a little "noisy". It would probably be...

I don't understand why that is a little scary to you. I have never stopped my lathe in the middle of a drilling operation, normal drill or gun drill. When I slide my tailstock forward with gentle pressure, I feel the drill touch up before any actual stock removal begins. Lock tailstock down...

I am confused as to what information you are needing. If you want the cue to weigh about the same with the new handle, you should use the same species of wood as the original handle. If you want the cue to weigh less, use a lighter density species. More, use a heavier density species. If you...

About the same as the old handle.

It's Morse taper. If there is more than a modicum of vibration, something else is wrong. A Morse taper shouldn't come free and spin unless you retract the quill too far when drilling, especially when using a gun drill, and especially in wood. Don't retract the quill to the point that always...

It is always best to replace materials with the same, unless the customer wants to change for some reason. That being said, Tomahawk is an excellent material for the LD shafts. See DZ's ferrule weight comparison. http://dzcues.com/ferrules_4.html

That equates to approximately 19.2 balance point for a 58" cue. That is rather forward balanced. Woods with light weight woods and a largish metal bolt in the butt are often 18" balance point. 18.5"-18.75" is fairly neutral. 19" is forward balanced. Perceptions can vary based on where the...

Wouldn't it be SOP to report the distance between centers using the stock lathe center installed in the spindle?

Because you like to stab yourself in the thigh?

It was cored with air.

A customer has asked if I plan to offer threaded and capped Tomahawk ferrules for sale. If I used 5/16-18 capped myself I would definitely have them for sale. Since I don't, I have been on the fence regarding this subject. Being the raw material is a bit on the expensive side to begin with, I...

Well this is sad news and quite unexpected. I hate to hear about this. He will be missed in the pool community.

Do an advanced searching. Search for "coring" in thread title only, and search only in the CueMaker section. You will get thread after thread on the subject. You will be able to intensely read for 2 hours straight and get 10 times more responses than you would from just this one thread. I'm...

Fattie said that to mosconi in the wide world of sports match.

Thanks. It is a Dayton blower motor I bought like new off eBay for a ridiculous price compared to what it lists for. Relatively high CFM for the application.

Thanks.........

Know the difference between kamui soft and kamui hard?...a month.

Maybe some of this will help. http://mvpcues.com/cuebuilds/Booth.php There are two bearings for each center, centers are made from matching diameter bearing rod. Pulleys are made from delrin and press it on. Delrin stops and set screws to fix the drive side and created adjustable spring...

Lee has been out of the biz for years.

Thanks for your post. I checked the weight bolt of my George. It isn't an exact match, but it is slotted and has some radial grooves on the face. I have been leaning toward the cue being an It's George. Yours having a longer joint screw strengthens that thought. I emailed Bill pics and a...
