Decided to build myself a 2nd lathe. Below was my criteria going in. Mission accomplished. Must be portable. Tired of going to my basement in the summer to do a tip when it’s a beautiful day outside. Standing height 45”. I have two Lyon work tables. One inside and one outside...

Just bought a PSI Penn State Industries DC 1/2HP motor and control. Working on a secondary lathe project and I wanted to get a motor before deciding on the pulleys. The motor is solid. Very happy with my selection there. The problem is the speed. I wanted to go with a direct drive with no...

Been playing with veneer rings to compliment billets. Took me five programs but I think I got it. Ended up hogging out the entire middle. Didn't like the rough edge on the inside webbing. I increased the outside webbing to 4 on the large and 3 on the small. The veneer doesn't clamp down...

Been using 20 minute for inlays and sealing only. Been thinking of trying it for rings and collar to give myself more time to position my rings. Is this a bad idea?

I have ten mounts assembled with all hardware including the bottom 5mm alignment dowels. Below is a list of ten interested parties from PM’s and the last thread. $80 including shipping and fees to DanO@Timocues.com Paypal. I will hold for two weeks, then move on. Not a problem if you have...

OK, so I have a legal license for Bobcad V23 installed on my CNC pc and my home pc. I have a license dongle that plugs into a USB port and works fine moving from one to the other. I just loaded V23 on my laptop. It opens up and works but will not recognize the license dongle? Consequently...

What's up with Atlas and Prather being out of black/blue linen? Anyone know another source?

Looking for a good replacement for a Palmer original. Ferrule is not threaded. Straight tennon, .305 diameter. I see CC has pre fabbed ones I can doctor but I'd rather buy a full rod if available? Game on.

This is pretty funny. I especially like the leveling screws.

I have an opportunity to buy a South Bend 9 with a 3 ½ bed. Right now I have a Cuesmith deluxe that I do everything on accept inlay work. I think I would like the precision of a true machining lathe but I don’t think this will do what I want? I could add a rear chuck for tip and ferrule work...

A month ago I had an A player bring me a Predator BK3 breaker wanting a Samsara tip. After A LOT of play, he miscued. The Samsara blew apart and the thin walled ferrule split next to the tip. There is now a crater in the end of the shaft exposing the thin walled carbon fiber sleeve lining the...

I’m rebuilding a Meucci Original with a broken forearm. Replacing the forearm was the easy part. The A pin was off center so I removed it, plugged it, and moved on. I built the forearm oversized, double chucked the handle in my headstock, then turned the forearm concentric with the handle...

This thing really looks freakin nice! I bought my controller and motors from this guy. Right now I'm using (2) 5C mechanical indexes but it may be time to upgrade.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/cnc-rotary-table-sherline-maxnc-taig-cnc-router-cnc-milling-machine-pool-cue-/151078782316#ht_893wt_783

I have a customer insisting on replacing his G10 threaded ferrule/tip on his jump cue with brass. I know it's threaded Ø5/16-18 since I did it a few years back. Thinking of removing the G10 & making a brass ferrule only a ½” long that is threaded completely through. The negative is the...

Not sure if this is the right place to post. I never read most of the other sections on here so I feel like this is my hood, My Dad stopped truck driving last winter do to health concerns. He was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s but then a brain tumor was found late summer. When my life is...

At what temp do you feel it is no longer advisable to play with an ivory ferrule, or elk ferrule and joint? We have a local pool hall in our sanctioned ACS league. They didn’t pay their gas bill and their heat got shut off. They still expect teams to play matches there regardless. To make...

I’m setting up to cut some floating forearm points & I’m seeing an old friend again. I’m going .135” deep @ the base since I don’t have a Z offset to level the cue on my homegrown machine. I’m getting a nasty fishhook at the base point of my test pieces on my finish .003 pass. Doesn’t seem to...

I came across a 16” linear slide so I thought I’d try making a table turning fixture with it. I have bearings in the live centers but I need to add thrust bearings behind the stop collars so it spins easier. My intent was that it would turn itself as the 60T blade slaps the block but I don’t...

I have a two part question. Anyone know where I can buy some BRIGHT yellow ferrule material? I have some florescent yellow that's the new "micarta" but I’m looking for some the same color of a one ball. If I can’t find any rod material does anyone know if a one ball is yellow all the way...

Any tips for eliminating fish eyes on sneaky pete prongs before spraying? I buy my four pointers pre fabricated. The problem is those little 1/8” long glue voids that don’t fill on your first clear session. I end up sanding and clearing again to eliminate 75%, then repeating a third to get...
