I am aware of the risks regarding prolonged exposure to high sound levels hence my original post asking about queiter equipment. I've been reading this forum for a while now and there have been very limited discussions about the dangers of the sound levels generated by some of the tools of our...

KJ, based on your response about the Makita laminate trimmers - I guess they are just as loud as the porter cable? I would estimate my porter cable to be around the 90+ db range. I will probably try the bigger Makita router like the one Bob has (RF1101). That one is rated at 81 db and that a...

I've been doing a little research on quiet routers and Makita seems to claim that they have the quietest routers. http://www.amazon.com/Makita-RD1101-Variable-D-Handle-Router/dp/B000051WRP This particular router has a sound rating of 81db. I am wondering if the Makita laminate trimmer is just...

Hi Dave, I have used a razor blade for trimming and shaping laminated tips like Moori, Sniper and Super pro and never had problems except one time when I reused an old razor blade which was a little dull on the super pro tip and it delaminated. I now make sure to use a new blade on laminated...

Great idea Brent. Rep to you sir. :thumbup:

Oops! Sorry - I didn't realize that he had morse taper :confused: Forgive my ignorance - all I have is a deluxe cuesmith with straight tapers :o

This is a Taig lathe spring loaded center for the tailstock. It might work for you. http://www.taigtools.com/c1151.html

Payment sent Lee. Thanks.

Good topic :thumbup: In your opinion, does the heavier/denser wood generally have lower pitch than the lighter hardwoods? Do you prefer the higher pitched wood in the forearm or as a handle?

I definitely agree! :smile: Very nice cue.

Eric, the link I posted above is a 12x36 and it's 110. I too am looking for 110 because I don't have 220 in my garage. This is the only lathe I found at this size that's 110. http://www.wttool.com/product-exec/product_id/14784/nm/12_x_36_Gear_Head_Precision_Bench_Lathe

What do you guys think of this lathe? http://www.wttool.com/product-exec/product_id/14784/nm/12_x_36_Gear_Head_Precision_Bench_Lathe

An announcement has been posted at www.easypooltutor.com forums as well. Everyone needs to be informed about this.

I haven't tried it myself but there's an IRWIN extra-long drill bits from Lowes. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=171004-281-88710&lpage=none If you can make some sort of drill guide that will fit in your steady rest for stability, it might work. I got this images...

Hi Bob. I'll take it. PM sent.

Yes, it is. Thanks.

A tapered collet.. that is most likely what I need. Thanks! Rep to you.

Thanks Eric. How do you know I am not already pissed at you? :D I have tried using the steady rest before with the same result. The steady rest with the delrin collet has a runoff of 2 thousands. I chuck up the ferrule on the headstock and my steady rest about half an inch away from the joint...

Got it Chris. Thank you! :thumbup:
