    Raptor CNC for Sale

    I came across this and know folks here are sometimes looking for a similar setup. This CNC is plenty large enough to make cues. I do not know the owner/seller, though I see him post occasionally and believe he knows his CNC "stuff". So DO NOT try to contact me...

    Stress Marks on Scorpion Shaft?

    Hey Guys, A friend/customer asked me about these marks on his Scorpion shaft - see below. They showed up mysteriously last week. He thinks he can feel the finish lifted slightly - I couldn't feel anything. I'm not familiar with Scorpions so thought I would ask here. Has anyone seen this before...

    ER-11 vs ER-11A Collet Nut

    Hey Guys, I have a 48VDC air-cooled spindle on my CNC inlay machine. It has a "ER-11" collet holder on it. It indicates pretty well, but I thought I would enhance that by getting one of Precise Bits ER-11 precision collet nuts. Well, little did I realize there is an ER-11 nut and an ER-11A...

    CNC Air Blower Source?

    Hey Guys, A while back, and I'm embarrassed to say how long back, I built myself an inlay machine. See post 43 in the below link for pictures: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=339520&page=3&highlight=cnc%2Cinlay I'm finally getting around to learning how to use it and have cut...

    Are There Any New CNC Controllers Out There?

    Hey Guys, There used to be some discussion of CNC here, but it has faded lately. I've got a 2-axis DIY taper shaper that I made. The computer is Windows 7 32-bit, running Mach3 driving a Gecko G540 from the parallel port. It works fine, but updates to Windows 7 are getting few and far...

    McDermott Quick Release Removal

    Hey Guys, A friend has a McDermott with a quick release SS collar/pin assembly that is slightly loose. It will turn approximately 5-10 degrees with a "click" at each end of the twist. I can't get it to turn any further by hand. With a shaft attached, when it unscrews that little bit, it...

    Cue and Shaft ID?

    Hey Guys, A player on my league team bought this cue recently. I don't think it's an Asian import or I wouldn't bother you, but if so, I apologize. He bought the shaft and the butt as a cue, but I don't think they were an original pairing. Any info on the shaft or the butt is appreciated...

    Bob-CAD v24 on Windows10?

    Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone is running BobCAD-CAM v24 on Windows10? I talked to tech support and they said they had customers running it without problem, but they haven't tested it. Windows7 is getting a little long in the tooth, so I thought I would upgrade. I suppose if it screws up...

    Meucci Cue In For Repair - Ivory?

    Hey Guys, I got this Meucci in for repair - the butt cap came unglued. I got to looking at it closer - is it ivory or old plastic? I don't see much ivory in this part of the world, so I'm not familiar with it. Thanks for any help or ID. Gary http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=393311

    Meucci Grey-Stained Maple, Green Arrow-Heads, Ivory Cue - Model?

    This cue came into my shop for repair - the butt cap had come loose. I got to looking at it closer, and I believe the white in the cue is ivory. I searched through the Meucci archives, but couldn't find anything like it. Does anyone have an ID for it? Value? It's not terribly important, but...

    Got Wood? This Guy Does!

    Hey Guys, I know it's a little on the borderline to refer eBay auctions here that aren't your own - I know that some times in the past I thought I had found an auction that few others knew about and didn't appreciate it getting exposed because that just bumps up the bids. However, this one...

    Cross-Threaded Woe

    Hey Guys, A customer contacted me this week, he had a cue that he somehow cross-threaded when taking it apart and wanted to see if I could fix it. When I first saw the cue, I gave it a moderate twist in both directions and it does in fact seem pretty locked up. i asked him "Just how hard have...

    4-Axis CNC Router on CraigsList

    Hey All, This listing came up over the weekend. It's bigger than necessary for cue work, but otherwise looks well built. http://denver.craigslist.org/tls/4554492352.html There's a lot there for the asking price IMHO. I haven't seen it, nor have I spoken with the seller. We've exchanged a...
