Sbe I go along with the Gracio guess. Probably a few other butterflys in the cue.

Techno Isel You will like the servo's, they have a very accurate homing mode. It looks for a particular window in the encoder. Just like the big boys toys. You can set up work areas on your table, then return to them using offets you can store in a table in the software. The software is a...

Techno I would recommend two different spindles. One for turning and one for inlays. NSK 2550 is a hot set up for inlays. Very quiet. But you can't use it for turning. I'd go with something more rugged. I have a Bosch and like it. Pretty easy to mount each on the z axis. I then use...

Techno They are famous for high priced options. If you are talking a columbo spindle that doesn't sound totally out of line. I agree on the rotary at Newmark.

cnc How did you set up your new supported rails and how did you check their straightness before installing.

cnc I would definitely do what Travis said and really wring out the machine and check that you don't have an mechanical issues. Use a test indicator. Not a dial indicator. Jog the suspect axis to a zero point on the test indicator. Then jog in the other direction .001. That's what you...

Cnc Like everything in cuemaking, different strokes for different folks. I didn't mean to be short in my answer. As you said repeatability is the key. I learned my way from the machinest 2 doors down. He has a high end shop, Haas VF2, 2 Haas TM1p, and a Tl1 lathe. He makes parts for...

So you are saying that .003 vs .002 clean up pass is going to deflect the carbide cutter. Sorry, but I don't agree.

cnc It's amazing all the little things that can be hidden in the code. One thing that I do is cut all my parts with the actual tool size. Then all the compensation is in the pocket. It looked like you were doing a clean up pass. That's where I tweak the endmill size to get the fit I like...

cnc I'm with Jim and Royce, no way should you be stalling a motor. I noticed on the top of your program a few things that tweaked my interest. First, why is T1 listed at .0255 if you are using a .0313 endmill. Second, if you are using the saved feature function in Bobcad, make sure the post...

bleached So who is bleaching ivory, that's my point. Accusations or facts.

Bleached Let me guess, you have been researching ivory on a web site from a southern state.

Buzz Ring I guess Gus liked it also, cause he used one almost identical to George's. Neither one of them did anything just for fun. May have been lathe bore, may have been quality of adhesives, may have been playability. Don't think we'll ever know for sure.

Not sure where you are looking at cues, but I've seen all the above mentioned cues that have warped. And I'm sure as they get older, there will be more of them warp. And yes, I have seen cored cues that could be used as ski's. I even saw a fiberglass cue that warped. Seen Gus, Barry and...

Butterflys I'm coming out of retirement to post on this thread. First off, I bet you guys would stand in front of the Mona Lisa and say that one eye is slightly smaller than the other. Second never assume what a cue maker is trying to do, especially Richard. Third, you ever look a bird...

They come and go on flea bay. I've seen 150.00 and I've seen 650.00. Heck I've got 150.00 in the bracket. If you take care of them, for cue work they will last a really long time.

Anyone interested heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280716412905&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Worked great for me, just upgraded to NSK with collet closer.

So who died and made you the mediator. Same to Bill the Cat. I've had enough of this forum, go ahead and screw up your finishes until you learn to do them your self. I'm history.

I've got to hand it to RAT for this quote "Cue making is a like domesticating an angry baboon" I once saw a small group of Baboons stop a squad of Marines out for a morning jog. Bad Ass animals. I have a cousin who sprayed aircraft for a living. I explained what I wanted in a pool cue finish...
