With all the new talk about live threading and Eloh's nifty gadget, I thought it would be helpful to share some information on how to determine proper threading parameters. There's tons of information out there if you just google it, but here's a link to a simple way to come up with successful...

I'm looking for a new or used Dowel Mill, or Rod Mill. The imports are fine if they are in decent shape. If anyone has one they are looking to sell, or knows of one the owner is looking to sell, please let me know. If the deal works out good, I can do a little something for the one who steers...

I have 4 curly maple shaft blanks for sale. They are cut to about .645" at the tip end and .890" at the joint ends. All are 30.5" long and tapered so they are not just cones. They've been through several turns, and all are straight with no movement over the last 2 turns. Weights range from...

Anyone have any experience using treadmill motors and speed controls? I have an old one and the controller went out. I can't get another like it, and it appears that all the newer ones work differently. I need one with the speed feedback so it will maintain speed. Thanks in advance for any help.

I just wanted to let everyone know that we, OB Cues, are having some phone trouble. Our primary phone system does not seem to be connecting to our provider (VOIP), so all incoming calls are just ringing busy. If you need to reach us, please call our fax line, 972-398-9304, as it is still...

Does anyone have a tap for the acme 14 thread insert? I have a Joss West cue that someone built a couple of shafts for and just used the standard 14 inserts. I don't want to change the screw, obviously, so I am looking for someone with a tap who could re-thread a couple of inserts for me. Just...

Anyone get any Doodles from our favorite supplier, Atlas? I usually have them by now. Royce Bunnell www.obcues.com

I just picked up an extra lathe. Its an Enco 12x36 geared head machine lathe. I picked it up really cheap from a friend who bought it in an auction buyout. It almost brand new, but had been damaged a little bit. The lead screw was bent and the motor control box was busted from the move...

If you have been trying contact us at OB Cues, we are temporarily out of service. Wednesday night some pretty bad storms came through Dallas and took out our power, and it is still down! Our phones go down with the power outage too, so we are out of touch for the moment! I know some people...

With all this talk about the new rulings by the BCA Pool League, I see allot of miss-information being passed around, and I thought I might try to clear a few things up. I was at the tournament and spoke to a number of the referees right after the meeting at which this was discussed. All of...

I just wanted to tell everyone that I am sorry for the sound in our new banner ad. I didn't realize that it would be so annoying, but I agree that it is. I really thought it would be cool. As it turns out, it's not. I have asked Mike to silence it if he can, and if not then take it down until...

Anyone know where to get a tap for the Radial look alike that is used in the 5280 cues? Here is a picture of it. This thread is showing up in quite a few cues and I have been asked to make shafts to fit it on numerous occasions. Normally for odd threads I would just thread it on the lathe...
