who is him? I don't even understand you Royce Bunnell

What do you think he's trying to do? Exactly that. You come on here and spew your side but don't have the balls to put your name on it. Without your willingness to do that, your words are meaningless. Royce Bunnell

So what exactly does that mean? Royce

Joey I forgot to talk about the feedback. Servo's have some kind of encoder feedback to tell the drive and/or controller where the axis is and how fast it's going. In many cases, the encoder is either on the end of the motor or on the ballscrew. This works pretty well, but any backlash or...

Joey Actually no, it's servo's. Consider this. Steppers are almost always 200 steps per revolution, or 1.8°. Since each step is basically a magnetic pole, it can't get more than about 35 to 40% behind, or it will jump to the next pole and be out of position. Servo's are always behind. The...

Oh Yea! Let's have the players referee each others matches. I can only imagine the "business" that could happen then. Royce

All of them that you can! Royce

Actually Joey, there are some servo systems you can get into these days for not much more than a higher end stepper system. Here's a question for you. Which motors have a greater following error, servo's or steppers? Royce

Brian I applaud you for standing up for ethical behavior and common decency. You're right, it's badly needed in our world, and I'm not talking about just pool! Several years ago, too many for me to admit to :D, I ended up running a local weekly 9 ball tournament. The previous guy fell out of...

Of course. Servo's work pretty much the exact opposite of a stepper. They don't typically use switching type power supplies. But when they do, the supply is at it's lowest load when the machine is still. Servo's use the most power under load. The higher the load, the higher the power. Servo's...

Well, that's the million dollar question. I've never used them myself as I've been a Gecko drive user for a long time now, but those that I've seen looked to be a steel disk probably 2" in diameter and about 1/2 to 2/4" thick. That could be a little too heavy, but if you made them that way...

Not to mention that the cue is wood. And as wood is not exactly a good air tight sealing material, any pressure differences between the cargo bay of the airplane and the internal cavity of the a joint would be very quickly dissipated by just bleeding through the wood. Royce

That mid band resonance is crazy isn't it! You'd be amazed at what adding a heavy round steel weight to the extra shaft on the back of a stepper can do. It acts as a resonance damper. Many systems just can't even get past the mid band without it. Royce

Don't worry willee, as most have pointed out, it's pretty much a normal thing. Yes, the G540, as well as many other drives, has a current limiting system that will reduce the current to the motor once it's idle for a certain period of time. So, that can reduce or change that sound. Most...

I like both KJ's and Alex's methods the best. For me, the most important step here is to first cut down the ferrule to just over your finish size, not cutting into the shaft wood at all, and then sand the wood down to the ferrule. Wood will cut different with your cutter than the ferrule does...

C I B Short for cast iron b***ch Royce

Can you tell us how long the joint pin extends out from the joint face of the butt? Here's what it sounds like. If the shaft is threaded to a depth of say 1.250", and the joint pin is slightly longer, as the pin nears the end of the threads, it will push to the side. Basically, the single...

Today's one pocket is definitely different than what it was years ago. For that matter, so is 9 ball, and 10 ball, and 8 ball. Pretty much all the games are played different strategically, when the players skill levels go up considerably. Today's players routinely pocket balls that would be...

I'm not sure where you're located, but there are small machine shops just about every where. There's a distinct advantage to working with someone directly when having custom machine work done. Royce

What kind of joint does your cue have? Could it be that the screw is bottoming in the shaft? Or could there be some other interference where the shaft contacts the cue? Tiger builds great products, so if two of them are doing the same thing, I would have to look a little deeper. Over the...
