    Coring experiment, aluminum tubes

    Specific gravity of aluminum is 2.7, hard maple is .62 Now, you can vary the weight wildly since using aluminum you have the option of using tubing as opposed to a solid maple core, but what do you gain by giving up the mass that holds rigidity? I don't see a gain, but who knows, eh?

    why do pros aim so low on the cue ball at cue ball address???

    Lathe for tips

    As I said before the large industrial lathes are overkill for cue making, especially if you are a true custom repair guy that may or may not make a few complete cues on occasion. I have built quite a few complete cues on a modify Todd cue repair lathe. The Mid America lathes are so easy to...

    Lathe for tips

    Most of them run on 3 phase power which most people do not have access to. They are serious overkill for basic cue maintenance and light repair.
