WOW!! Good stuff! There will be some that still won't beleive that spin transfer happens even when they see it! thanks for sharing. John

Bit Speed Assuming you are running a constant RPM and both bits have the same # of cutting blades, the blades on both bits would hit the same #of times. Due to a larger circumference, the 1/2" bit has the fastest surface cutting speed in my humble opinion. John

If the shaft and butt are straight, then most likely refacing one or both will solve your problem. It is possible you have a bent pin. If the pin is bent, you should be able to see some wobble as you roll the butt across the table. John

Willie, I have made a few and like you I prefer the older dense wood as well. It is well seasoned !! If an old house cue is reasonable straight after many years, I have had good luck with them. If you have to cut out a warp, it usually comes back. Just my take on it! Glad to see you posting...

From the grain lines, it looks like the forearm and the front part of the handle is one piece. If that is true, then it should be OK construction wise (albeit different than standard). I'm guessing the maker had a long piece of curley to work with and not so much handle material!! John

I think he said SOME of the error, not all. thanks John

I recently installed a Delrin butt sleeve (threaded). I used Gorilla glue and after setting 24 hours, I absolutely could not get the sleeve loose. Has anyone else tried Gorilla glue on delrin?? Thanks John Fowler Fowler Cues

Probably the Butt and/or shaft needs refacing. John

Congratulations !! I am headed for 43 this year. John

What type of oak are you using Qmaker?? thanks John

There are many varieties of oak. Probably white oak or post oak would be the closest to sugar maple weight, but would still be 5-10% heavier. White oak has a tighter grain and is split resistent. I have used white oak for butts on a couple of cues and they looked and hit good. John Fowler

When you get the Deluxe, get the wrap fixture that fits it from Chris. They work great!! John

Looks like a Hightower clone machine ?? John

I believe that would be a true Sneaky Pete. John

I'll take a box, pm sent. thanks John Fowler

Did the ferrule fit over the pointed brass screw?? John

A dime shape gives a bit more spin. Knickel is more accurate, especially on long shots IMHO. John

I'm currently using a Molavia medium. Nice crisp hit with lots of action and very good on the long draw shots. I haven't tried a Moori in a while, but I think the Molavia has slightly livlier hit in comparision. John Fowler

Try Viper bats, I recently bought from them to make a bat for my Grandson. They had the best prices I could find. John

I agree with Bob, Enco and Grizzly are basically the same type/quality of import. Assuming they come with the same equipment, I would go for the best price. John
