No, actually it has to do with the arcs. I've seen it many times, and the fix is to just change the Mach3 setting. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is because I've not actually had G code and Mach settings that didn't work together. If I had a good repeatable example I could look at the code...

Did you switch it from incremental to absolute or the other way? Royce

It could have to do with how you post arcs versus how Mach makes them. In Mach3, go to the config> General Config> and look for the IJ mode. Change it from absolute to incremental or vice versa and regen the tool path. If that doesn't change it, then I'd need to see the G code and the...

Rick I think what Dave is saying in that portion is that by keeping the cue level, and by ensuring that the tip contacts the ball on the horizontal center of the cue ball, it mitigates all those variables. If those 2 things are constant, then cue weight, cloth condition, ball cleanliness etc...

I absolutely love those cases! Beautiful work. Royce Bunnell www.obcues.com

Don't sand with anything finer than 220. Royce

Rick The answer to your question seems very obvious to me, and it's actually inline with what Ryan originally stated. His method of choice was to simply heat the pin to break down the epoxy and allow him to remove the pin. He chose a method that was available to him, and easy and quick, the...

Chris How many parts does he need to run? How often? What are the materials, and dimension of the raw stock? Royce

Chris That sounds very reasonable and logical. But that doesn't seem to be the same as what you're looking for here. If I were to sell your friend a machine and program the particular part that he's looking for, I would get paid accordingly for that. But, it's the support afterwards that would...

I think there's something missing here. The thermal conductivity of Titanium is not that different than that of Stainless Steel, so it shouldn't require any different heating techniques than for Stainless. I don't think any battery chargers need to be involved. By the way, Rick, when you hook...

I could understand wanting control over it, but there's a little bit of a rub here. He want's a "turn key" machine including someone to program it for him, but he wants control. I don't think those 2 things really go together. How many pieces is he expecting to need? Maybe that's the problem...

Of course, my opinion does have some personal bias, but I do know that the methods used to produce cues today, both custom and production, are far more advanced than they were just 10 or 20 years ago. Royce

Joey I'm not 100% sure on this, but I don't think Allison's shafts were the fiberglass clad ones. I think her's were just solid maple at first, and later she went to their R360, which is wood on the outside too. Royce

Joey While a 12mm shaft will certainly have less cue ball squirt than a 13mm shaft will, it will still be noticeable higher than today's top performance shafts. Royce

Joey Composites aren't lighter than wood. But, they can make the overall package a little lighter. If, the wood removed is heavier than the composite that takes it's place, then the overall mass is less. It's not an easy thing to do though. I'm certain that there are products out there where...

Bob I do have duplicates. Usually more than one! Royce

bimmerchuck By the looks in the pictures, I think I know what the cause was. We will definitely take care of that for you. Call us on Monday. 972-578-9100. 9:00am to 5:00pm central time and ask for Doc. Sorry that you had a problem! Royce

I've always called it a "twister". It's really more of a masse than anything, but the masse comes after it contacts the object ball. His natural angle had the cue ball going to the right, and he needed it to go left. Sure, he could have just drawn back on the natural line and taken a tougher...

Bob Man, I know what you mean! I need to cheat sheet or something. I usually end up opening up an existing program to make sure I get it right. Boy, it's ugly when you use the wrong one! Also, don't forget that you can use G59p7 all the way up to G59p223 or so. Pretty much all of my normal...
