Geeezz guys, Kim asked about tolerances w.r.t core versus forarm/body and it all ends up in glue, methods and why coring discussion... What I would say is pretty much mentioned in post #2! If you as a Q maker decide to go for a 5mm gundrill and make the rest to fit or a 10,15,20,25mm...

Sorry to hear that Dave. Have however been through that stuff with 5 family members now, most of them tobacco related. However, my grand father was a carpenter and I'm now wondering if his trade was the deal... Anyway, I guess we should be careful, not just for allergic reactions but also the...

Great site. Just did a sanity check and "Ash" is stated as "irritating" - no words about cancer. Oak is mentioned to give NPC - but that is rare... I'm pretty serious about my dust system, but every now and then "I just going to...." and don't use my mask.... So for any one "just doing a job...

We all know that certain woods could cause allergic reactions - like cocobolo for instance. Now reading the "safety" papers on my new planer/thicknesser I can read ; "Risk of injury by inhaling wood dust: Dust of certain timber (e.g oak, beech,ash) can cause cancer when inhaled. Use a suitable...

Thank you for your feedback Dick. Interesting to read about your experiences using the machines. As for my work, I just made a custom HiFi rack and it did go so well that I have some more interested in custom work. Most of it was cut on my CNC machine using a 3m x 0.6m x 40mm Oak table top (3 of...

Thanks guys for your replies. For one strange reason the local Jet supplier has actually replied now on a Saturday. Feedback is that the thicknesser functionality could work on wood down to 3mm. However down to 3mm it might be problematic and he also mention the drum sander option which could...

I'm considering one of these machines for my general woodwork - not primarily for Q work. But I guess it would be nice to make nice reference planes for bandsaw work while ripping boards. Question is : does any one of you use these and can you for instance use the thickness mode to make your...

Good point, did not think of that one :-) N

Thanks Dick, The wood I'm working on now is in dimensions for handles, forarm and buttplate so the size should not be ultra small. Would be nice to own something which keep the wood spinning even if I'm greedy on a cut :p The springloaded senter looks good, if not I guess I have to put a stop...

Impressive for sure and super cool for runs of many ferrules. Was just wondering - is the taps slipping adjustable or is it fixed? I always hand-feed my tap while mounted in the tailstock and tailstock free "running" on the bed. Never dared to hit the leaver to engage the chuck when threading...

Well, I guess I'm just lazy and wants to do larger cuts. Using a 60deg dead centre and a revolving tailstock I often end up stoping the squares in my lathe. I also try to don't use the router since I still don't get as much of the dust out as I like so using the ultra sharp cutters the wood is...

No TIR issues ? I have a MT2 -> MT3 sleeve for some MT2 drills I use in the tailstock and, well - the drill is for sure not fixed 100%. Might be that I should give it a knock on it's tail (can't do that on the drill side) but it feels sloppy and I only use it as a start, then boringbar. Was...

If you are talking "Meucci" style I can't help you - that is far beyond what I can understand w.r.t putting clear over a fantastic leather grip. However - if you talk about products to prevent dirt build up and a good shine, I would recommend you to contact Tiger Products.. Of all the wraps I...

The one I have looked at looks like this ... I know Chris´es products but was looking for something else - but thanks. N

Long time since I have had the time to be up here, a little boy have sorted out my time where very few hours could be spent "back in the saddle". Was however back in the cue shop the other day and did some work and it got me turned "on" again - it's my time off and is for sure a recharge. Now...

I met the owner tonight. A long night in the pool hall with the owner in addition to a different customer tonight. Did actually manage to PLAY some pool for the first time in looooong. I went through the cue with the owner and discussed the different flaws on the cue and also reviewed the...

I agree Chris, this is the first time I'm not "doing it all for free". However CA the whole but is not a option since there seems to be a very thin fragile inlay which would cause a lot of problems if it's poped. That a can of worms I'm not eager to open... I had a predator jumping out of the...

That was a option I was considering but the scratch is so narrow and possibly deep that I concluded that it would most likely cause more problems than good to try park CA "just there".

Long time since I have been able to spend time up here, and even longer for pool cue work. A small baby boy have arranged for that :wink: Anyway,I accepted a job to install a new stacked leather wrap on a high end ebony/ivory jacoby cue during Christmas. I got my hands dirty this week and was...

Ryan, Here is my take on it http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=253191&highlight=safe+dust Note - the round version is the best - takes almost everything and it's small and out of the way. Still working on a better coring setup since the round one is not doing that great in that...
