Check this one out! It has a remote switch already, and looks pretty good to me: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Variable-Speed-Servo-Electronic-Motor-SEW-GREEN-550W-/350354434248?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5192c068c8

Well we all know where it is being made It is packed in fried rice when shipped! I suspect one can just hot wire the foot petal connections, at most maybe install a resistor inline. It seems to have about ten speed range groups to select from. I doubt one would need more selections. But a...

Sorry, I thought I put in the link This is what I saw on EBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Variable-Speed-Servo-Electronic-Motor-FESM500-/350218868099?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4957975532328105083

Looks like a very easy install, and plenty of power. Made for commercial sewing machines, and many speed ranges available with a twist of a selector switch on the backside of the motor housing. I am curious if anyone has any direct experience with one of these. I am thinking of upgrading from...

there are things to be said for persistence... and some of them are even good things!! LOL, merry Christmas, and good luck with the snakewood.

If an auger worked as well as a gun drill do you think so many cue makers would buy gun drills at $150 a pop? Some of us use two sizes of gun drills too! If a gun drill is properly aligned, one can expect to bore a handle or forearm in seconds. The wood stays cool and the drill tracks straight...

Have a happy and safe holiday all In my family it is mandatory to wear safety glasses and kevlar at the dinner table. Eating turkey is serious business. Enjoy !

Make that four looks like figured Bubinga to me too.

The pin used is not the major reason for a hard or soft hitting cue. Why choose the failure prone uniloc QR screw instead of more reliable designs? I use a 3/8 X 10 screw into wood for my cues and they are hard hitting cues. The collars absorb a lot of the impact. As does the choice of...

30 inch shaft the pin in the butt makes a 29 inch butt 30 inches overall length, so in order to keep both halves equal and fit the case best, make the shafts 30 inches. Unless one uses the pin in the shaft style cue of course.

Looks very good I like the narrow width.

Someone is selling a set of Barringer's DVDs Look on the other thread (equipment). He is asking $110.

Bore your hole properly to the desired ID, many use 0.308 inches or a 7.8 MM drill size, then tap with any normal 3/8 X 10 tap. If you have a button on the end of the tap set to your hole size your tap will follow the bored hole nice and straight. You should get a nice "modified" thread in...

Dowel and kind of sawed wood ANd one cannot tell if it were ever quarter sawed, rift sawed, flat sawed, or whittled with a pocket knife! Just make sure the grain runs straight through the length of the dowel and it is all good baby ! A square or rectangular plank will stay straighter and be...

I made mine too Made it a couple years ago, works great and cost not even $20. A commercial ball cleaner goes for big bucks and does it no better.

Tension I just slip the belt off the pulley.

Just a suggestion make sure all the pulley grooves line up perfect. I had the same issues until I made very sure the grooves were in perfect alignment. And once a belt starts to flip just figure you need to replace it. It seems best to remove tension off the belt when you are not using the...

Just put together my shaft caddy It was worth every penny for the cart and the gasoline and miles for me to pick it up 60 miles away. I wish now that I bought two! They are plenty heavy duty enough to hold shafts organized, not big enough for butts though. Thanks again Rick for taking the...

I am getting old too I was a technician, then taught others for years. But whenever I take anything apart for the first time I keep my digital camera handy, and take pics of every key step, wiring color and hookup, gear positions, etc. The router is simple, but when I took each of my large...

Hey Jocnat I hate to stray away from a good pissing contest, but have you seen the awesome lathe that JLCues has for sale? Look at the thread titled: New! Relocating... A little more money buy WAY more lathe, and set up for cuemaking. Easy to do butts, shafts, whatever, I wish I had the room...
