I have a couple of purpleheart coring dowels that i last turned about 6 months ago. I noticed that a couple of dowels, there is sap coming out of the wood grain. What does this mean? Is the wood not dry enough? I am curious. Thanks.

Does.anyone here use a mini cutoff tool for cuemaking? I saw a Proxxon KGS 80 mini miter saw for sale. It is a good deal and I can use it to cut metal pins or wood dowels for cues. I am sure it is better than my crappy harbor freight mini cut off saw that struggles to cut softwood dowels.

So last week, I had the flu. I was bedridden and all I could do was watch woodworking videos on youtube. It is so cool looking at these guys do mortise and tenon and all the other stuff that they do. I've been watching videos from thewoodwhisperer and Jay Bates channel. Jay Bates used to do cue...

I just picked up a 6 month old Laguna 1412 bandsaw locally via craigslist. I was eyeing the 14BX model but this one was too good to pass up. This is my first "big" bandsaw and I would like to get some experienced folks ideas about how to keep it in tip-top shape. Anything I should know that...

I am saving up for a Grizzly ultimate or deluxe 14 inch bandsaw but there is a Jet bandsaw that is being sold locally. It's upgraded to include the jet miter and rip fence, upgraded power switch and also come with Jet roll around base - selling for $500. Is this a good deal? I've read fairly...

Hello everyone. Can someone give me a good guess as to what type of wood this could be? I cut up an old house cue probably made in the early 80s. I cannot tell what type of wood it is... my best guess is that it is purpleheart that has turned brown over time. Thanks.

I bought this safety switch from grizzly thinking that it is already wired and all I have to do is plug in my lathe but it is not. There are no instruction manual that came with it. There are 3 wires, black, white ang green. One white and 1 black is already connected but the green wire is not...

I cut up some old house cues from the early 80's that I got a few months ago that came with the Brunswick Gold Crown 2 table I bought. I believe the wood was wenge. I have some curly maple I used for points and started to build a simple 4 point cue. Glued it up... points came out nice and...

Sorry if this isn't the right forum but I was wondering if someone here knows how to have my username changed. In case you're wondering why... well, some company is now using my cuemaker product name. :smile: When I started building cues back in 2007, I named my cues "BECue". I stopped building...

Hi all, Can anyone share gcodes for threading ferrules (standard 5/16 x 18)? Or point me in the right direction? I recently got a good deal on a used CNC 3040 locally and have been playing around with this new toy. :D Thanks, Chris

Hello everyone. Happy Thanksgiving! Does anyone know if it would be possible to calculate the rpm and feed rate for cutting inside threads? For example, 3/8-10 threading on shafts. I have a midamericapool's lathe with the CNC attachment so I would have the ability to control the feed rate. The...

Hi folks, It's been years since I quit cuemaking and now the 'bug' has bitten me again. I have recently bought an old pool table and started playing again (better for some reason) and it has now spread to cuemaking (like a cancer I can't stop). :) I've known cuemakers here and have received...
