That's the same blade configuration I've used for 25 years. The problem with a table saw machine, IMO, is that you cannot control the speed of the blade, at least I can't with a standard table saw. But, with that said it roughs tapers shafts quickly and frees up my CNC for final cuts.

CA for shafts and butts

pin install I install my pins early on around when the joint is .900 and then I turn everything around the pin mounted on centers. I have been doing it that way since my second build in about 1997. Never seen any reason to change and can't see any shortcomings but several benefits. If i'm...

Ca FYI. I've been using CA as an undercoat (BSI) for at least 20 years. Thin coats and sanded between coats. I use a small fan to blow the fumes away. Never had a problem health or technically wise. Thin,thin coats is the secret. With all that said, extra precautions should be thought...

CA glue and threading CA is probably OK for what you are doing seeing that the joint pieces are probably sandwiched between parts that are epoxied . I thread all my cues and this is my technique. Cut the tenon, including a relief chamfer on both ends at 45 degrees, to size then coat with thin...

Playability The short answer is the "player". Iv'e made quite a few cues in the last 25 years and have been shooting pool for about 70 years (I'm 82) and I would venture to guess that if I took the best stick I ever made and played Earl, who used a broom stick, he would beat me hands down...

Ebony--Gaboon One of the recent problems with Gaboon Ebony is that Bob Taylor of Taylor guitars has a virtual monopoly on it. He has contracted with the government to purchase ALL cut ebony without the logs being split open to see how dense a blackness it was. Used to be they would fell a...

A joint troubles First suggestion just use a full length core and ALL your a joint problems go away. Next: Install your pin first and then turn your butt around the pin using the pin as a center to insure perfect concentricity. Make sure all your joints and rings are dead square using SHARP...

Break tips I use Samsara JB and have never had a problem or a complaint

Frank dabarber Frank is a legend around here and has tutored many a pool player. Don't play 8 ball with him unless you have money to lose. Covina California

Removing insert Use a pin and a socket with a nut to make a jack.

oil finish Birchwood casey gun stock oil. Search gun stock oil and you'll find all kinds of info.

Finish Thanks for the compliment JC--much appreciated. Yes, I am 81 now and, as far as I know, pretty healthy and use the treadmill and walk my dog several times a day. I still make cues, about 12 per year, and still use the GUNSTOCK OIL finish I first used on guitars and then read that...

shipping sleeves Prather has them

Ph From Mario Purple heart is heavier than Maple and stiffer. I think you will be happy using it for a break shaft. I've made many and users seem to be always happy.

Repairs Try Kent Davis in San Dimas (KD Cues).
