    Cutting Points

    When I said it was more difficult to go thinner, it was at least partially implied going thinner than the band set would allow without manually dressing up the base of the points. Yes, the same can be said for going significantly larger than the saw kerf. Going really thin is a challenge...

    Cutting Points

    Asking if it is "better" to have thicker or thinner webs/gaps requires some sort of criteria to answer. In general, the thickest webs are found on house cues and lower priced blanks. They are easier to do, as you can testify with your "chickened out" comment. As you go up the chain in blanks...

    Cutting Points

    The wood can move after the first cut with the bandsaw. You make the first of four cuts and that first slab/fin can spring out or in due to release of tension in the wood. The two adjacent cuts will result in points not completely true. If there is any twist in that movement, one point will...

    Cutting Points

    Many cue woods lose their contrast from a distance, particularly after finishing. Those pieces are super nice, especially if the grain isn't angled. If the price was good and it was all of that quality, best to buy all you can eat at the time.

    Cutting Points

    Nice looking work. What species of wood are the forearm blanks shown with the bocote butts? What web thickness are you cutting the forearms to?

    Makes me want to quit

    This does suck. Sorry it happened to you. Impossible to know exactly what happened without facts. FWIW, in case the customer is simply guilty of a relatively poor packing job and a USPS employee somewhere is a thief: I buy 10 foot lengths of PVC pipe and cut them in 33" lengths. Cues get...

    Makes me want to quit

    If black buffalo horn, that explains the crack. I bought some once. Cracked to hell within a week after I had it. It might be fine in one part of the country. Ship it to another part and the risk is high.

    Mach 3 global offset setting for parallelism?

    Yes. Start machine codes at the beginning of cut prior to descending to DOC, and the corresponding stop machine code after the cut is over are an option in CueCut.

    Brite-Tone: new waterborne finish

    I know you have a vested interest in selling your product, but it's still nice of you to come in here and answer questions and be available. I'm comfortable with spraying autoclear, but I did recently try your wood grain filler for a specific cuemaking task. I liked it, it worked well in my...

    Cue pin material

    Some might just like the color. Some might make their own. The biggest reason is to add weight to the front over a stainless pin. .2 ounces is 10+% of the typical cue weight range, so it is a good option when needed.

    question about cutting handle tenons for A JOINT and butt sleeve

    Hey Bob. I once compared daily relative humidity swings by month across the US. I discovered that the MOST STABLE MONTH in Louisiana is WORSE than the MOST UNSTABLE MONTH in Pennsylvania. You once sent me a kiln dried birdseye maple round that you had for years. After a short time in my...
