I have to agree with Dick here. It looks cool but I guess after some tear and wear the pin would be looking like it has been used - a lot. My Gold Crown 3 table had the "brass" / "Copper" look when new - but when I bought it (used) - almost every corner was worn down to the grey metal. I did...

6 jaw I was in your shoes some months ago where I had a brass rod pulled out of my Chinese 3 jaw. After that the chuck was not "happy" - but until then it did it's job. If you are concerned about runout you could swap out the Chines to a 4 jaw manual and dial it in. I know, I know - it's not...

My seller refused to answer on email if the epoxy is "ok" if the pumps are mounted on the cans/containers and left there. I guess many of you have experience with this - first hand - any recommendations would be highly appreciated. For small work I'm still using Tiger Products bottles since I'm...

Your cue sounds like a collectable item so don't throw the shaft away. Having this "fixed" is as Dick says impossible, at least I have not managed to "iron out" a bump in a shaft. Also, you might enjoy the later technology in shafts arround today anyway, so having a new modern shaft is most...

You are missing the point... When some one says a cuemaker is not trying to improve tolerances and sloppynes in a "engineerd" standard thread but making a "unconventional" one just to be special-it's not always true..They are done for a reason. Doing the simple test I mentoned gives a...

Take a cue with a "engineerd" 5/16-18 pin, it's matching shaft with it's brass incert-screw the shaft on the cue a couple of turns (leaving a big gap between shaft and cue at it's joint) then try moving the shaft sideways to check for play. Then put one of Bob's shaft on his cue with the...

I'm not sure what youre debating with your self about here aor prove by saying maye be this or may be that-the pont I tried to get through to OP was that he could get a new shaft for the cue from Mezz. If not, any cue maker with a good machines could make the tap or farm it out to a machine shop...

I have made several shafts with this joint and it's ultra tight. Wood to wood joint is for sure my "hit" and this is one that tightens the shaft well. Special threads has been arround for a long time both on US and other cues so nothing new on this. Thats why I have a custom made tap for this...

The ones I have done did not have phenolic ferrules. I have not done that many lately due to the fact that many customers has left these products and migrated to Tiger and OB shafts due to the lack of local sales service and built quality.... Might be the later shafts use Phenolic but those I...

Yupp, I use Titan on all of the Pred. reps. K

Glad you like it. I have not had time to update that much due to a totally new page is on it's way which sucks the energy out of me. More interesting stuff would come - not just these old Predator repairs :-) Have a nice weekend. K

I have some repair pics here http://www.kendocues.com/Websted/Cue_repair___articles.html K

For ferrules and rings I have used Tiger Products 30min epoxy. I normally tap some hot wather in the sinc and let them enjoy them self there for a while, then mix them up and apply. Have so far not lost a ferrule or shaft collar. For structual work I have just got West system 105/206. Here is...

Joe, Take the offer given by Customcuelathe and get over it. I'm also getting tired my self reading this over and over again. I have no take on any of the manufacturers but I know that there is always two sides of any story. I have a customer which I honestly did ALL what I could to make him...

Looks very similar to a Morado (Pau Ferro) cue extension I made. Can send you a pic if you like to compare.. Currently on my phone and would not be close to my pc until saturday though. K

Looking good. Gear rack at the far right for house cues as well? K

I had one snap Dave, and the tenon is ultra small/thin. At the end I just returned the whole shaft....After that I have not worked that mutch with these shafts. K

Dave, I have a rendering of the ferrule on my web here; http://www.kendocues.com/Websted_2/LucasiTech_2.html Hope it helped. K

He he-I'm a patient man Paul. It's a part of the education :-)

Hmm, should I core for the third and final time.... My buddy has decided for a softer hitt, which a Gabone + PH core would not give...
