    Looking to purchase a pool table for my home. Need some advice.

    Just my .02. Find a first class installer. That is the most important aspect. From there they might have access to new or used tables. They will help you select, maybe inspect something someone has for sale. Keep in mind used is is used. It might be lightly used or be a nightmare under the cloth.

    Want to start in basic shaft repair.

I choose the CueMan Micro ll as it is in 2 sections. 36" with a 12" extension. It is easier to store and move. The...

    Want to start in basic shaft repair.

    I have the Micro ll w/the extension. Hightowers lathes are excellent. Take care of it and it'll last for a very long stretch. I bought for tips, cleaning, etc. I have made canes/trail sticks, a one piece conversion, and lot of small novelty items. Buy right the 1st time...you'll get a lot of...

    Roy Billiard Cue Repair Machine

    Save up for a Hightower or MidAmerica. The lathe shown in post #1 is Mickey Mouse and scary to and dangerous looking. Also the operator will need new lungs soon if the dust doesn't kill him.

    Cues for home guests - house cues or your own?

    It's Been Three Months Now

    Your largest issue will be the installer. If you think Diamond is sending RKC or similar forget it. Ask them who they intent to send and do some research. Diamond's authorized dealers/installers are anyone that will sell their product. If you do get a tournament grade set up with no V cuts in...

    A New Pool game...? Yes... Look inside...

    A PO box and answering machine would be a little suspicious.
