Linen thread will twist badly as it comes off the spool in the vertical position. That is why I have it in a holder that keeps the roll horizontal and it feeds off as it unrolls. As I get to the end of the wrap it starts getting very twisted before it gets to my hand. If I release the tension it...

I have installed a lot of clear and colored acrylic pads between the ferrule and the tip. I flat sand the pad with 600 grit just like I do a leather tip. I then wipe the end of the ferrule with a paper towel and a bit of Acetone. This removes any contaminants and I think sorta etches the...

I have used the Loc-Tite gel for some time with great results. The only failures were with a red or black fiber pad installed. It might be possable for the leather to wick away some of the super glue gel as it is seting. Using some water thin super glue I pre-glue a layered tip, set it with...

I think I ed somewhere on you tube that this tube was more like 40W at best. So far I have only ran it at 20% or about 10 watts. The Focal Length is determined by the lens you place in it. So far I have used the 3" FL lens but do have a 4" one I can install. There is a plastic window on the...

Anyone else here have and use a Laser engraver / cutter? Just picked a used one from a sign shop here in Corpus Christi Texas. Didnt know beans about how to operate one or what exactly it can do. Been watching You Tube videos and picking up information about them. Learned how to align the...

Like this one Joey? I agree ... have used it many times. Uni-lock inserts are less than $7.00 Its not about saving money I just wanted to play around with a Phenolic insert to check it out. Like you said ... there are only about 2.5 threads in the uni-lock pin and it is a bit hard to measure...

Michael, I came on here and asked a simple question. You answered but felt you had to belittle me a bit because you thought I did not search for such an answer in the archives. I did. Why do you feel the need to make others feel small and stupid? Then you asked me if I was drinking. I see you...

The material is acrylic plastic and the thickness is 1/16". I uasualy cut it down after gluing onto the ferrule to around 1/32" thickness.

Michael ... did you search AZ before you asked this question? Im a bit flattered that you wish to know about my personal life. Actualy ... I have been drinking root beer all day. The sugar free version.

Michael ... you are questioning why I would want to make something? Why make anything? I could buy fully made cues from any online cue dealer and save a lot of time and money. But I still choose make them. If I need to justify my question then here is my answer. I want to make some inserts from...

The clear acrylic pad Under a Kaumi tip is all about looks. Just like inlays and fancy rings they add nothing to the play-ability but a lot of style if you like that type of thing. I have been installing red clear acrylic pads under tips for many years just to have a different look. I now offer...

Trying to make my own uni-loc pin inserts. Anyone know the thread size of the inside thread of the uni-loc insert? Thought it was 3/8-11 but it is not.

In that price range you should be able to find something really outstanding.

No Longer available.

True ... the force acting on the shaft from striking the cue ball will act as you say. However ... the spline of the shaft will flex easier in only one direction and will resist flexing in any other. With the spline in a random alignment the resistance to the flex will be lesser or greater thus...

You used the cue with the colored dot facing up. That way every shot had the shaft in the same position relative to the spline. Whatever deflection or bending the shaft did when it struck the cue ball it did it in the same direction every shot.

The shaft, having a spline will always flex in one direction easier that another direction. That is one of the things segmented and carbon fiber shafts try to eliminate. Bob felt that having the shaft deflect in the same direction for every shot would help with consistency. Whether or not that...

New wrap for this Burton Spain cue. Anyone know what the two plugged holes were for? They go all the way thru.

I agree with Chris that a small tenon will work fine. I use that method with White Diamond tips to help stand up to any side force from a miscue on the break. The extra strength of that shoulder makes a difference. When replacing the tip how would you go about it knowing there was a small tenon...
