I have a customer which split his OB Break shaft by bending the cue in the "all so cool banana" shape when braking. Never understood the point by doing just that but some must think it helps.....:shrug: Anyway - he bought a new shaft and gave me the old one to play with and see if I could fix...

I have added weight above the joint hole in the shaft by incerting a brass insert which had lead melted inside. Epoxid the whole thing in place. Could be done behind the joint pin as well with epoxy to keep it in place. I added some time a go (EDIT: up here-use search) pics of a Meucci which...

Do not agree at all!! I've aquired one some years ago and it's bloody horrible. The unit is heavy since the motor and battery is in the same unit. It's ok if you have a neck like Mike Tyson-which I don't. The unit is noisy. You hear the motor going and if you shell out for the ear pices you have...

I'll take it if you can send it to my country. In case I'll pay through P.P N

Thank's guys-I would work on some scrap and see how it turns out. K

I guess if I had a "put in cue-hit a button-finnish on-done" machine I would be one happy chap.

I'll start : I'm close to Chris H on this - finnish... I simply can't stand making extra shafts for customers! The ring work, turning and all the rest is nice, interesting but geeezes sealing the rings with CA and putting CA finnish on - give me a break.... Don't get me started on putting...

I have a customer which fell in love in a Zebrano pice I had lying and I'm working on a cue for him now. I core it with maple and all the rest and now I'm heading up to make inlays and the bells and whistles. Anyway - as you know the wood has fairly open pores and I was just wondering if some...

Joey, Is it the light which make the bottom thread look like non-triangle cut? Good advice with the CA. As for sleeves in shafts-I have done maple so far but have a plan on using a P.H tennon on a broken break shaft.. K

Brick I have been working with Royce for many years and the customer have tried it all. He knows some of the story you mentioned and I'm aware of it as well, but there is no point in me making a cue with a OB, Tiger or even a Mezz shaft when he is stubborn enough to keep ordering new Preds from...

KJ, Good to hear from you. I can email you my post address info so you can calculate the rates correctly. You know me and naturally the information shared on email stays between you and me :wink: I'll send you a email and then you can reply when time permits and you have been able to check the...

I have a customer which would not change to any thing else than his current Pred Z2. Since I'm not one of the chosen one to deal this brand and the one which is - is not carrying something like a blank - could some of my friends up here help me out with 2 blanks ? I'm building a cue and I...

Thanks Neil. I would for sure look in to the mentioned machines. Locally we have Haas, Mori Seiki, Datron, Multicam and a lot of Asian machines. The problem is that out of these I only see Datron and Haas as options. Mori Seike is to ekspensive and Multicam has no housing and does not look as...

Agree Royce - but almost $19 000 just for training and shipping from Germany was something which had my eyes saying rip off. Datron is a good machine and would fit the needs but I feel a Haas is more "high end" in my eyes - and when it all comes out cheaper than the other it makes me wonder...

When I did my research for my personal machine I read up on many machines and I remember some green looking high end gantry type machines. Since this is many years back I can't find my links so I was wondering if some one knows any machines which they could be recommend? I have looked at...

I guess I can comment on some of your concerns - I have bought a machine from China. My machine has rack and pinion drive in X,Y and ballscrew in Z. It has so far been working OK but here is some experiences : The controller is shit. It's a handheld device which used a USB memory stick to...

Not sure what the buzz is all about with KJ, DD and others.. Is it A) The joint is not "engineered" enough - in other words not mathematically proven to be a good thread ? B) Is it due to the fact that a cuemaker has to buy a new tap? In case it's A) - If I make a cue with a "engineered"...

Varoonv: 1: If you feel the joint is to tight - smear a thin coat of cue wax on the pin and put the shaft back again. 2: If you need a new shaft - contact your dealer and I'm sure they can get you any shaft you like. If not, I can make you any OB or Tiger shaft. 3: I have sold 7 custom Mezz...

I know - I need a upgrade in the membership I think :-) Deleted a few now. Thanks K
