You can definitely seal and clear a linen wrap. Obviously it helps that the wrap is nice and clean and very tight. The looser the wrap, they more issues you potentially will have down the line. Another alternative if you want that wrapless feel is stacked leather, that can be sanded incredibly...

The Rasson tables are pretty good for the money. The Acurra is reasonably priced, looks nice and plays well. I have sold those to several pool halls.

It's a powder coated surface finish.

Yes you can repurpose hardwoods. I have shaft blanks made from old bowling alley floors, but if shafts is what you want to make, that's gonna have too meet some quite specific criteria. Could you use it for other wood projects that's not that critical in terms of grain etc. yeah, that would...

I have seen those bend. They are softer than you might think. G10 is generally much stronger.

They are much stronger than you might think. The alu ones on the other hand, stay away from those.

You can do that at fairly close to final size. If you're using a lighter wood as a core or a carbon fibre tube, just be mindful of hydraulic preassure. You want a tight fit, but you want the wood or CF dowel/tube to easily slide down the hole you bored.

Coring how? Do you want to drill out the front like Predator or do you plan on having some sort of core running through the whole shaft?

Very little margin for error on those. Go to a professional is my advice.

Probably proprietary, but it kinda looks like turbo loc.

Your milage may vary I guess, I have seen qute a few chipped sneakies, but your'e right, it's not the end of the world and if it happens it's certainly possible to fit a joint collar and do a refinish. My mind just always goes to durability, so If I can make something stronger, I prefer to do...

The level of expertise needed is no different than the cuemakers own work, so I would look at their other work first.. It's a quality blank, so you want someone with skills to match that work. As a side note I highly recommend you go with a joint collar from whatever material that suits the...

What you are seeing are unrealistic expectations.. Sure it goes in waves, but I have customers that have their favourite tip or brand and I have new customers coming by all the time wanting to try out something new. I try to give as accurate description of the tip/brand in question and we go...

Don't even consider that option. Just bore and plug the shaft. With a threaded plug and a quality epoxy like West 105/206 with 203 silica powder will create a strong bond. Then you can thread it to suit whatever pin your cue has.

Why would you need to remove it? The shaft collar/plug is one piece.

These extension sets are made by one company and they aren't super cheap. I'm guessing the type you are wanting is this one: Jacoby extension The bumper part comes in several different variations 3/8-16, 1/2-13 etc. The bumper should be less than $50, what did Jacoby quote you?

Several vendors, but they all probably originate from only a few factories in China. Having said that, the technology itself isn't as advanced as you might think and I'm sure there are companies in other parts of the world that can build CF tubes. The biggest cost is having the mandrel made, but...

You can still get ringtail wraps, but you really have to trust your supplier, so many of the wraps was junk. Many of the wraps offered just wasn't made for wrap use, they where thick, super stiff and just poorly tanned and treated. It felt like 600 grit sandpaper in your hand after an hour or so.

Turn key systems for our needs is very limited indeed. I'll send you a few suggestions by PM. What's your budget btw?

You wan't a machine just for tapering or do you want a bed style cnc so you can mount a shaft spinner and a rotational axis on it?
