What software are you using to draw then generate your G code? I did read Joey’s post dated Oct 2004 “ How do you draw?” . I hope there is updated info out there. I’ll share with you what does not work well… I used Corel Draw 11 to draw the outline and saved as a DFX file (autocad R13). I...

So did this machine come to fuition? Does it work as well as you hoped? Sounds like a great design.

Hello All - I noticed all saw machines seem to be designed so that the blade is parallel to the work (shaft / butt). I set a few magnets on my table saw as a temporary fence that was perpendicular to the blade. I then rolled a dowel by hand up against the fence while slowly feeding it into...

Cue maker in AC i sent you a PM.

an idea. Buy pearlescent and mix it in a 2 part epoxy or polyester resin yourself. Then you can make it exactly to the density you wish.

right idea... You are pretty sharp Shorty! You have the right idea... Why settle for the inferior machine?

Bluds Saw Machine Chris, Im sure that you will be very happy with that machine. I was there at Bluds about 6 weeks ago and saw his design for the cnc 4 blade shaft and butt machine.. It looks like a winner! You can be sure that when i save up a few more pennies it will be my next purchase...

Big Thanks WOW lots of great info here. I will post what cnc solution i end up with and let you know how it turns out. Thanks to all that provide the great tips.

When you change a wrap, what kind of wood do you usually find under it? On a cue that is mainly maple, would you expect to see maple used for the wood under the wrap or is a different type of wood usually used?

Can anyone provide recommendations on desktop cnc mills/routers for cutting inlays? Ones to avoid or units you like. Heck, just any info or experiences would be a great start!

Big Thanks Just a quick thanks to all that provided info. I am glad I asked the question as the result was quite different than what I had expected. I foolishly was under the impression that laminated shafts were bullet proof...

Is there a difference in turning laminated shafts VS. solid maple shafts ie, Time between turns, depth of cuts, nelsonite treatment? I Just bought a few laminated shaft blanks (flat laminate and the Fusion shaft from atlas) to see how they work out. My impression is that all laminated shafts...

Shaft Saw Machine Hello All, I am new to this group. I saw this shaft saw machine and then looked at a few more designs on the web before falling in love with the idea of building one. I can’t really call myself a cue maker. I think I am really into more of the tinkering than the actual...
