Looking for a lathe pin for a Pechauer "SJ" joint. I have a Cue Smith Deluxe lathe. Never mind. My 5/16 X 14 worked...

I have a Hightower lathe and I’m interested in the best cutting bits for general repair (tips, ferrules, etc.). I’ve tried HSS but I’m no good at sharpening them. The carbide doesn’t seem to cut as cleanly but I may be using the wrong type or the wrong supplier. I’m currently fooling with...

Billy Sweat passed away on Wednesday, April 19, 2017. He had been the APA League Operator in the Augusta, GA/Columbia, SC area for more than 25 years. I talked with Billy the night before at the APA Masters Division playoffs. He seemed fine and in good spirits. We talked about life, death...

Any feedback on G2 tips? I have a couple of clients asking about them. Also, who stocks them at wholesale prices?

Just picked a Meucci Original LH-2 with two shafts. It has the brass joint pin and everything appears to be original. I'm probably going to send it to Mueller for refinishing soon. Anyone know anything about this cue? Not really in the market for selling it. Just curious. :cool:

Friend of mine handed me a McDermott "Harley Davidson" butt the other night. The finish was flaking off in large chunks. I realize the cue is probably not worth the effort but I told her I would try to get the remainder of the decals and clear coat removed. I used a plastic scraper to remove...

Is there a sure fire method to identify ivory on a cue? I have a 5 point James White cue with what looks like an ivory ferrule, ivory joint, and possibly ivory butt sleeve. Under UV light, the ferrule and joint appear to be whiter than the non-ivory ferrules I have. The butt sleeve also appears...

Seriously considering purchasing a Predator Roadline SP6GN wrapless Sneaky Pete with a 314-2 shaft. Any feedback out there?

Anyone know anything about the new Meucci Originals being sold on eBay by JDB Billiards. I think the owner is a member of AZB. They come with a Black Dot shaft and are re-designs of Meucci Original cues, even the same logo. They look pretty nice but I'm concerned about QC issues. I've really...

Apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. But what is the best way to ensure a good transaction on AZB? I have a James White and a Paul Mottey for sale. I would like to use AZB to sell these cues but I want to make sure the sale goes well. Is PayPal the preferred payment method? Does...

I've been playing with a Kamui Black SS for several months but decided last night to install a Moori Medium. Prior to the Kamui, I had played with Moori's consistently since the Moori III was introduced. I had forgotten how much I like the hit and consistency of the Moori. Yes, I'll have to...

I have a Hightower Deluxe lathe. When I chuck up a precision ground dowel, my dial micrometer shows about .004" runout. What's the best way to true it up? Or is this enough to even be concerned? BTW, not a knock on the Hightower. I've been using this one for over 10 years and I'm completely...

I know this is a double post but I thought this would get more exposure in the Main Forum. I sent two Meucci's to Mike Erwin recently that had smoke damage from a house fire. I received them back this morning. He replaced and sealed the linen wraps and refinished the butts. His did an...

How many of you guys wet the tips before trimming the edge? I read somewhere on AZB that it makes it easier to trim. I've noticed that the Kamui Blacks can be a bit of a challenge to trim but I didn't want to mist them with water until I'm sure. I'm a little scared of delamination from the...

Friend of mine showed me what used to be a beautiful Schon. Guy in a bar fight hit another guy in the head with the cue and broke the butt in half. It's disturbing to me that you could do that kind of damage on someone's head. But my first thought was why didn't he grab a house cue? :frown:
