Where do Ya'll get your Makita 1 1/8th model belt sander belts from and what grit? The belts from the last batch I got seperated in lest than a minute of light use. They were new, but a few years old. Maybe that contributed to the premature failure, BUT just to be on the safe side, I am asking...

Is it possible to navigate to a certain page in a forum? If so can someone tell me how to do this? I like reading in the "Talk to a Mechanic" forum but I'd like to be able to start where I left off reading previously and I don't see page numbers at the bottom of the forum start page. Is it...

I'm trying to get the dimensions for the playing surface of a pinoy pool table. From my understanding there are basically two types of tables. A square one and a rectangular shape. I want to build a rectangular shaped one but have no solid answers to the measurements of the playing area for a...

I got a new low deflection Vikore shaft in that I've been using for a few months now that has a 13mm tip. Problem is that I've been using a Vikore shaft with with a 12.75 mm tip for years now and I just can't get use to using the 13 mm tip. Ok, so here is what might seem like a stupid question...

Well first I just want to say that I tried to search this before posting so if there is a thread on this, please point me toward it as I haven't found it yet. If not, what I would like are a few opinions on is this: In general, (everything else remaining the same such as tip, hardness of...

Anyone tried one of these? Did a search but found no reviews here. Thanks

I did a seach here on the forum and haven't seen the answer to this question so here goes. If you have the variable speed model, what speed do you sand the cushions with before you put new facings on? Any particular belt grit woks better? Thanks again.

Here are some pics of a GC I'm looking at buying. Looks to be in great shape, at least in my opinion. You tell me what you think. I read the thread on identifying a Gc, but most of it was identifying them after it is taken apart. I don't see any GC stanped into the corner castings from the...

Found a Diamond Pro (9') which am told is about 15 years old. My questions are 1) the guy told me that it would probably need new pockets on it so I was wondering how much I am looking at in $ just for the cost of the replacement pockets and 2) what are the pockets made of? Did they make them...

I'm looking at purchasing my first custom cue and was wondering how much (if any) does the amount of inlays and points effect the solid hitting feeling of a cue? If it does effect it in any way, could you explain or give your opinion. Did a search but haven't found anything. If you know of any...

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience shooting with one of Howard's cues and if so what's your take on them? Thanks again.

I'm looking to purchase a used Perfect Aim DVD from someone who might want to recoup part of their initial cost. Don't reply unless it's an authentic DVD. Thanks again.

Does anyone know if Olhausen has always used their present down angle on their pockets or was there some particular year when they started making them with screw up? Thanks again.

Well I'll try to be short and to the point here. I had/have a problem with my Olhausen Pro table. Posted a question and of course the members here as always rose to the occasion and gave me their help and thoughts. RKC even went so far as to offer for me to call him to further discuss a solution...

Would the rattle associated with Olhausen tables (Accufast rubber) be solved simply by using a) neoprene facings with the existing Accufast rubber, b) replace cushions with rubber other than Accufast c) cushions other than Accufast AND neoprene facings? Looking for the best solution. [/INDENT]I...

I know I have to wait my turn to get one from Ya but do you think you could give us a peak at what cues you might have in the works for others right now? Glad you got the mechanical difficulties ironed out. No one likes to sit around waiting on a repair or parts. PS. Don't be a stranger aroung...

Just wondering Tbeaux and RKC. What measurements, if any, are different from the ones in the thread "What's in a Pocket. The Answers" using procut pockets? I know the corner pockets are 4.5" and the sides are 5", but is the angle of the cushions the same for procut as well as the face angle...

I not sure if this is the correct forum to ask these questions so direct to one more appropriate forum if you feel necessary. I did a search and can't find the answer to these two questions so bear with me. What causes billiard balls to yellow and is there any way to reverse the yellowing...

The guys down at the lodge asked me get everything together to refelt their Centennial table. I'm pretty sure I have a good detailed list. If I remember right, it uses K55 rubber (?), but I don't know what size the featherstrips are. I'm not even sure the tech will have to replace them but I was...

I've never actually seen or looked through one of these blue book for cues, so I was wondering if anyone who has looked through one or has purchased one can tell me if the book just lists the value of a cue(s) or does it also include a picture for additional positive id of the cue? Oh. One...
