Been a while since I posted a cue in the gallery. This cue was recently delivered to an AZ member. All white except the ferrule is deer antler. I hope you enjoy. http://mvpcues.com/finishedcues.php

Well played...

Good job fellows. I confess I never once looked at the forearm pic. I have some very uniform and straight grained kingwood (I love kingwood for coring dowels) that would pass for the sleeve pic, but the forearm is just too long to not show some variation if it was a solid piece of wood. I had...

I won't say what it is because that is impossible to determine without scientific means. And, I wouldn't pretend to claim that Bob Runde doesn't know what woods he used. All I can say is what it looks like to me. It looks like no species of Narra I have ever laid eyes on. It looks exactly...

Todd's CNC setup lacks a 3rd (vertical) axis. My Ring Billet program is a 3 axis program. It works best (by far) with a 3 axis machine. You can cut slots in a billet using 2 axes (whether CNC or not), but you will be limited. If you cut from the top (vertical router mount), you will be...

Hi all. I have released for sale my new program called CueBillet. It is used for making ring billets on a CNC machine. Specifically, it has a slab surfacing function, a function for milling the slab into the billet strips, and for cutting the slots into the ring billet. There is an option...

<retracted> Ooops. Sorry. I see Joey has offered his.

You guys are giving good advice. Top right corner of diagram is the set aside spray room. There is a door to that room...so it is closed off. Prep area, spray booth against wall (undoubtedly exhausted to outside), and a UV booth.

Like Shane torched Earl on the 10 footer with tight pockets?

OK. Understood. OP originally said he had some "junk forearms with points in my junk box". I don't think OP used Bobcad to draw with and cut the point grooves in the forearms he asked about. I entered the discussion in the general sense of how to determine what OP asked for by only taking...

I might know from context clues (past posts about that subject)? I will wager a worn out Lepro I'm right...

If your offset of the forearm is different when you machine the grooves (and you don't change the cutter path) you would have a completely different diagram. You would have different point lengths at .984 and .840, and you would have a different rate of change of point length per diameter of...

Except your sense totally failed this time. :p JC was being sarcastic (at least I hope) about the triple A thing and the trunk of a car. That was a reference to something negative the shaft seller said about someone.

Will the spot bother your friend?

You don't have to know what the actual angles are, but you need data describing the taper of the bottom of the Vee groove. Rise over run is a slope, which is the results of an angle. Take two forearms that are exactly .925 diameter at the end of the points and the point length is exactly 10...

Correct, Intersecting lines. One changes, one doesn't. You just described exactly what I said, you just illustrated how a tool can do it for you.

CuePoints would be a different program than CueCut is. CueCut is strictly a taper design and turning program. It may further evolve in that realm. CueBillet (talking ring billets) is up next. I honestly don't know if I will ever do a points program. I have a GCode program for cutting Vee...

:) If I say anything I will get another request to add point cutting to CueCut. So...I'm not saying anything.

I may have been grouchy indeed. Yes, I did answer with a question but I also then gave an answer. Then chopdoc gave the exact same answer, just in a more drawn out way. Microfiber cloth is great. Silicone will slick up a shaft...for a while. It will also contaminate things. Any shop that...

Because you didn't get the answer you want yet? One cuemaker wasn't enough? How many do you require to answer?
