I need that too, I think Cueman sells them or try Atlas ?

I guess ultimately we're all on our own, but not until it comes to that. Don't be so pessimistic, need help just ask, peck away don't ask for a ton at one time.

Jeez, I don't think I ever asked a question and didn't get a response, or maybe several. Of course in the old days the pool players didn't like to give any tips cause they might play the guy later on and get beaten because of what they taught their opponent. Doesn't apply here because it takes a...

You can get pictures in the store for cueman cuesmith products as well as atlas billiard supplies and most anybody that sells cuelathe products. Chris lists the gun drills and sells them by size as well as the bits you need taps etc. All the pins and even cue parts are for sale and there are...

that's crazy....?? I don't get it..

That's too bad, maybe if they knew who he was they would have tried to help. I know how that is with sons and their fathers.

buy Chris's book, if you can budget the money or the dvd's he sells....very informative and I double check my self all the time...Being older I forget lots of stuff I knew before...Also just ask in the forum...everyone knows lots of stuff and are glad to tell you...

I've seen aluminum get pretty funky. I have some in my shop that you would swear is rusted. Maybe there is another name for it?

I would use what the manufacturer just recommended. He said he uses motor oil.

There have been a couple of disreputable lathe builders in this forum. Stick to the good ones. They are the best in the world and support their product fully. In addition they are long time members of this forum and the pool world and respected by everyone. The cream comes to the top. The bad...

nine years is pretty good

to answer where I am would mean I am somewhere. lol I don't want to use a three jaw chuck as it's way out. I bought a four jaw but can't install it yet because of the crap lathe I bought has no threads on the front of the spindle. I bought an adapter I can machine and that's where I'm at. I...

thanks for taking all this time to help...excellent ....

what exactly is a set true chuck ? Brand name or style ? I'll research it if I can. thanks.

when they ship them they aren't really ready to run. Rough cuts etc. I tried to put a quick change tool post but it doesn't fit. I'm going to machine it but it looks difficult for my milling experience. In general it was a bad choice and if I buy another I have to be very careful in what I get.

I'm in the process of installing a four jaw , but I have to make the backplate first.

thanks, lots of options, getting confused... I have a bench lathe chinese with 1 1/2 i.d. spindle and 30" between centers..tryied to make that work but it's tough.

feeler? Also you said big enough long enough? you mean i.d. 1 3/8 and 36 " between centers? Or 40?

Sell it to me and I'll take care of it. You can buy another.

Any suggestions for the best lathe to buy. I don't have unlimited resources and am looking at under 3000$ all in. I know what I would do with money being no object but unfortunately that isn't the case. I have the room for more than one lathe and I think I'm going to use this cheap bench...
