    Dealing with unhappy customers

    Many good points has been made here but I thought I would chip in ; When ever I do something, I do it following my own moral and standard. After all, the lack of the mentioned was the thing which got me started.... However, every one of us have their own in this respect and my advice is that...

    almost finished...OOPS

    Dave, I like your way of using the stock steady rest and it was actually in my head to test it out on my machine before I saw yours. Do you have to retighten fixation of the ball bearing due to vibration or any other reasons? Sorry for migrating off from the topic. I keep my wife in another...

    stacked leather wrap

    I'm not sure why you would like to have leather and then finnish over it? My stacked wraps is done with kangaroo leather and gives good grip in your hand but in addition it's softer than other grips. If you should get this done, you should consider : 1: Meucci used linen or other types of...

    World Team Championship

    Looking tough now.... But as Roy say - not bad from a 19 year old boy to turn the match from 4-2 to 4-7 :-) I'm happy with the result - we did for sure not end up with a donut. Many close races here, Japan was close to equalize (Strong of them to beat The Netherlands) and UK have proven...

    Have a look at a Gravograph. I have used a IS400 and is OK but expensive.. It's not laser, not sandblasting but a mini CNC machine with diamond tools. Kent

    Questions about angles. Europe - Norway

    John, I'm not sure what you mean, but the previous color on the table was more blue (cant remember the orig.color name). The new on is Tournament blue and I was a little skeptical at first look but when installed on this black table it looks good :-) The cushions are the original but I did...

    Questions about angles. Europe - Norway

    A good 12 hour workout.... Well, it's close to 2 years since last time I did a table so this took some time.. We had a debate if we should use the original 6mm facing and then increase the vertical angle, or use the new 3mm facing and change the angle on the wood.. The last option was chosen...

    Questions about angles. Europe - Norway

    Thank John for your reply. May be I should book a ticket for you to come over here :) Very cold however he he. We started looking at the table yesterday. The facing was a whopping 6mm thick where the new one is 3mm thick. Hopefully changing this would solve some of the issues with the ball...

    Stepper missing a step or overstepping

    Just chipping in.. I have not used your board Joey, but I thought I could at least give another alternative if you are looking to get rid of a old Parallel port setup. Here is what I'm working on after my DSP controller bugged me enough to say enough is enough : www.usbcnc.com I have not...

    Questions about angles. Europe - Norway

    Glen, Good to hear from you. Regarding the cushions ; These are D.B.O. speedball professional rubber cushions but the profile is unknown. My mate is checking with the factory to get the profile, but these cushions is for me unknown. The type of facing is also unknown, but I'll shoot some pics...

    Questions about angles. Europe - Norway

    Hi Anderson, Thanks for the reply. You are actually saying the same as the factory "technician" which says that a larger/steeper angle on the facings would increase the playability. Is this because the increased angle creates a top english causing the balls to spin in to the pocket ? I'm...

    Questions about angles. Europe - Norway

    Things Take Time.... Sorry, I have not been able to get back to you until now. I have attached a pic of the tables corner pocket and as you may see, it's pretty tight. I also made some drawings which I did mean to scan - but my scanner seems not to be supported on my Mac. Anyway, I had to...

    Kamui med vs. Kamui BLACK med

    I think that you should remember the OB factor in your testing. Comparing against the Pred would most likely give you the same conclusion independent of the tip... The lack of "ping" sound and effortless english is what all my customer comes back and report when they have switched from their...
