    Looking for a used or new lathe

    Purchased this from Todd a few years ago now. Has performed like a champ. Excellent working condition with some extras. Take good care of my equipment as pictures show. Recently purchased a like-new Proper B is the reason would part with it. 950 if I ship. 900 if you know someone to pick up...

    Jay Helfert resigned as Tourney Director at the US Open

    wish Jay was TD for NAPA in 2014 Kudos to Jay for doing the thing we players know was right. Once that chart is posted no one should be allowed to screw with it. I was barred from future NAPA Nationals because I appropriately objected to this exact same thing. Check out the attached photo...

    Acceptable run out for lathe

    Got the Shars' dial and tried what you suggested but the weight was too much for the three magnets (didn't use earth ones) used. Because of the thingy with the drilled hole, was able too simply lock it down to the tool post with just one set screw. Appears the RO is .003. Not building, just...

    Balance Rite Ex FS

    5/16-14 4". Pristine. Second one I purchased. Returned first several months ago. Thought I'd try it again on a different cue. Same result but only took a few racks to confirm. Didn't have the heart to return a second one. $30 includes shipping (USA only). PM for my PP.

    Porper B Runout Found this while doing searches on topic. Have two questions: Tried magnetic base w/indicator and couldn't find a metal base to secure it to--returned it. Tried flex mount--crap, returned it. Can you rig dial indicator to tool post so it works properly (pictures)? Any...

    New For Me (Used) Porper B

    Thanks Ryan Received free instructional DVD this afternoon. Already watched it twice. Lots of good stuff to absorb. Wondering if you're in Vegas for APA Nationals? Heading out Monday morning for Masters. Buy you a beer or two for your postage. Not stalking you, but I do have a few...

    New For Me (Used) Porper B

    I think the two pictures are misleading. They are not before and after pics. The pitted side is how I think it sat. What I believe was the underside, is the shiny picture. So, the pitting still remains. Your wax suggestion is appreciated, but first I have to remove the rust/pits. That's my...

    New For Me (Used) Porper B

    Purchased a TSP&B repair lathe a few years ago and through trial and error learned to install tips, ferrule, etc., on a very high quality level. Observed a lot of installs at shows/tournaments when I wasn't playing and asked lots of questions of very cooperative and secure in their abilities...

    Porper B

    Purchased a very lightly-used machine that is in excellent condition. Is there an instructional DVD/cd/VHS to set up basic operation? Have the stock VHS but doesn't address set up fundamentals and assumes too much. E.g., manual horizontal travel is frozen but works fine under power. Sure I'm...

    APA "Travel Assistance"

    Just trying to get a handle from different geographic parts of the county as to the current dollar total awarded to 8/9 ball teams heading to Vegas in August. Maybe through a rational discussion with our local LOs, anchored with some comparison facts, we can get them to part with a few more...

    Bridge Use....Is This Legal ?

    Several years ago I saw Karen Corr do this (Double Dave's way) in competition. Asked her about it and she was gracious enough to share her technique. Since then, I have executed this unique method for using the bridge, while in competition, very effectively.
