The stock rotation is independent of my program. Most guys are setting up an independent spinner, such as a sherline or other lightweight headstock/rail/tailstock, on a cnc router, or disconnecting one belt and connecting another one that goes to a VS motor. I considered adding an option to...

Thanks fellows. I have had more response to my CNC programs than I would have hoped when I first started writing CueCut. The best part about it has been leaving the taper bars behind.

Bumperama...

An 8-10 inch taper.

meh...he's OK...

Good job. :thumbup:

These are the ferrules that Joey sells?

He is there.

That looks sweet!

It's a good practice, but it should not be necessary to preserve the A-joint. Any A-joint that unscrews or fails as a result of screwing or unscrewing a shaft was simply terribly done. A more common occurrence is a linen wrap twisting loose when gripping the handle and over zealously...

I appreciate the insight. I made a shaft for a local bludworth owner. I made the insert on my cnc machine. Actually, I made several inserts to find a good tolerance. One insert would fit nicely on one of his blud cues but be too tight on another. It seemed to me there was about a .005 variance...

I had a five tier 4' X 2' shelving unit (steel frame, pressboard shelves) from Lowes that was sort of extra. I split it up into a 3 tier and a 2 tier. One became a work space. The other I got a hole saw and drilled holes and made a shaft and butt rack out of it. A little labor intensive but it...

Ah. That makes total sense.

Send you what pieces? I machined everything on the techno.

I copied DZ's setup and used a linear slide also. I machined a custom stailstock base and mated it to a Sherline right angle tailstock.

Yes on all accounts. Such a setup could be used for 4 points as well, allowing for the gap between the points to be very small without having to go near to the center. This idea probably falls under the "solution is worse than the problem" category. I'm sure someone has done this somewhere at...

If you ask for a 3 pointed cue and you want the point bases to be close to each other, with conventional 90 degree cutters and square points, the grooves would have to be cut well past the center of the forearm. That would require some recutting and a little larger cutter than some might...

Touche. :thumbup:

Oops, I think you are right. I should have looked up his name. :embarrassed2: Thanks all for the comments.

Thanks. No, made my Omori. I am gearing up to make my own FS blanks though.
