    Rambow Collection

    Rambow Thanks Chris, The case really makes the collection stand out. Every time I pick up one of old cues I always think what great stories they could tell if they could talk.

    CNC Inlay Machine Design

    cnc inlay design Before you make you final descion on materials. Make sure you look at all the tolerances on them. (straightness/twist/tolerances) If you look at gantry routers, there is a price point where aluminum extrusions go away and other materials are substituted. If the foundation...

    CNC Inlay Machine Design

    cnc inlay machine design A few more thoughts. Don't just look at machines in your price range for ideas. Haas, Hyundai, Hurco all have online literature on what makes their machines different. See how the big boys do it, then adapt the principals to your comfort level. Think about work...

    CNC Inlay Machine Design

    CNC design Try to do more thinking and less buying. The more you can think out the entire design, the less money you will waste. Most people I know who did a home brew, ended up with a pile of stuff they didn't need, or didn' work. Be very leary of published accuarcy claims, they are...

    Help with info about Bludworth sneaky pete cue?

    Blud Don't know about the early pins like TW has the piece of rod. But Blud's later pins, the ones with the funky pitch were made especially for him by Rolled Threads Unlimited. I know this since I had them roll some 3/8-12 rod for me. I asked them about Blud's threads and they said he had...

    Chris Nitti shows strong at the ICCS

    Chis's inlay work is some of the tightest in the business. As has been said, it's the silver rings around the dots that you are seeing. So, it might have been appropriate to ask what those reflections where, but it was inapproriate to say he did crappy work. I would expect an apology to...

    which CAD/CAM

    CAd Cam I envy DanO and his skill at solid edge. I'm currently working on learning that program. You can rent a basic version of it for 19.95 a month. I use Bobcad/cam V25 and find the drawing side ok for flat 2d stuff, but not very nimble in 3D. The program that will work best for you is the...

    Finishing question

    Finish question I've done it just about all the ways mentioned above. What works best for me is horizontal, spinning. I have a 0-1750 rpm DC motor and controller. I sent the rpm to where I can walk the wetted area down the cue with out barber polling. If you are spraying the proper...

    Cnc Router set-up question/ ID and value estimate

    cnc machine I'd check the stepper motors over closely. Looks like the lead screws are coupled directly to the stepper motor. The stepper motor bearings are taking all the load from the ball screw. Quickly wears out the motors
