OK I am having a hard time threading 3/8 10 into wood. I am building a couple jump breaks and trying to tap the forearms. I have tapped many things in my life including wood but these keep stripping threads. I have tried by hand - under power - drill .295 - .312 - super glue on threads. I had...

CNC goodies? Those make me happy when they show up around here.

Awesome - thank you Chuck for taking the time to share that. I will have to see if I can concoct something similar

That is nice - how is the bearing fastened to the rod?

Chris , what blade do you use on your woodcutter most of the time ? Width and teeth configuration? Thanks for everyones help.

I have seen some pics in the past of the ones with with a bearing mounted to either an adjustable pull out rod. Those looked pretty usable.

I know that I am wearing you guys out with questions but I guess that is part of why this forum is here. I have a pretty nice bandsaw that I have had for a while and it does not get a lot of use. I am seeing that as I get deeper into the cue building addiction I will be using it a lot more. It...

Sounds like a keeper then. I originally bought it for tips and ferrules but never did much with it or made a steady rest for it. I was thinking that the threading could come in handy though. I do not have the change gears , guess I will have to go ebaying

Baton Rouge, LA - It is heavier than you would think. Probably 60-70 lbs

It is a metal lathe.

I have had this little 7x10 harbor freight sitting around for a while and decided to go through it and clean it up and do some fine tuning. Is anyone here using one of these for anything cuemakeing related? Maybe set up for slicing rings or anything else? Just wondering if I should keep it...

Ok time to pick up some end mills for cnc inlay experimentation. I do not think that I will venture below .020 at this point and once I get everything dialed in I may try something smaller. What are you guys experience with brand- sourcing options - and # of flutes. I have had good luck with...

Ok never mind - ferrule it was.

Dang Kelly - that penny sure puts things into perspective! Like they say a pic is worth 1000 words.

I checked the obvious and it sure sounds like it is coming from the tip end but I know that that can be deceiving. What has me stumped is that changed the tip and all was good for a couple of weeks. Maybe it is in the ferrule and messing around putting a tip on pushed it back in place or heated...

I have a guy that came by for me to look at his cue because it was making a pretty loud clack noise when hitting the ball. I inspected it pretty well and could not find anything loose in the ferrules or tip. I suggested that we try a new tip and as soon as i put any pressure to cut the tip off...

Yeah I know feeds and speeds are critical and are a lot easier with metals when you have a good starting point that you can find online. Even with that you can go through some bits. It cost me at least $100 to learn how to cut aluminum on my cnc before I realized that the material that I had was...

Thanks for the info. I have a cnc router parts pro series 4'x4' machine with a porter cable router that is using the precise bits collets. I have not measures runout but I am afraid that they will not be as good as I need so I may invest in a small spindle like the Wolfgang to mount off to the...

When cutting a pocket for an inlay on the cue do you typically: Have a fixture that shims up either the headstock or tailstock to level out the cue? Cut the pocket into an unleveled cue where the inlay will end up being thicker on one end than the other? If so I guess you will be cutting air on...

I picked one up years ago and it seems that when I was researching that Deno Andrews in Chicago was the guy
