I was just considering the CTE aiming system. But there website leaves something to be desired. Looks like there is CTE disc one - CTE Disc 2 - CTE Pro one finals disc 1 - CTE Pro final disc 2. And a discalimer as to You do not need disk one to use disc two".

Guys, I am building my own CNC. I am stumped however as far as software. Having no experience there I am unsure of what I want / need. Is there an integrated cad/cam package that is prefered? If not what is recommended?
I use my variable speed router and two drill bits. The first looks like a forstner bit but with regular flutes 1/2 deep this allow material to exit as the bit enters. The second is a regular bit .03 larger. cut slow, autofeed tool post. Apply air.

If taken as a given that setup and installation are done correctly would there be any difference over time as to the wear of the fit? I seem to remember older Mcdermott's that feel sloppy when screwing together. I would assume that in time that might translate to some joint misalignment?
Would a...

Can you clarify as to why I would want a phenolic insert in the shaft?
I thought th point was to ge tthe most natural wood feel. Why introduce a third element?
I am still learning the art of cue making. I have made many cues and all have been either 5/16 or Uni-loc. I now want to begin making pin to wood joints. I think i have narrowed down the options to a Modified 3/8x10 from Cue Veneer or the Uni-loc radial.
What pros/cons has anyone had with...
