thanks for the explanation. Knifing it would still be easier:thumbup:

I agree with you on this but I'm wondering what cutter would give out sharp corner pockets for say a french diamond inlay? With the cutter radius I don't see it cutting sharp corners or I might be wrong. As for v-points, no problem whatsoever. Thanks

nice clean work as usual Mr. Varney. Any plans of doing your own points soon?

i prefer a phenolic based material for the joint, flat faced and a 3/8-10 ss or brass pin. Phenolic gives a more consistent performance as to material resilience, hardness etc.

good clean work. can you post pics of the full point fro bottom to the apex? Were your venneers mitered?

My dowels are a bit larger, so i can trim it down to exact size for the ring. Also depending on what wood I will core, weight issue or stability issue affects the size I would use. Then I bore it out to size for concentricity.

If I don't thread, I score the tenon and the joint.

Will you be sending out thissample packs for free? Thanks

congratulations and welcome to the bandwagon! I hope you'll find it rewarding, and I know it will be. it's a good way to relax and enjoy life:thumbup:

Great thread mike!!! Very informative and I'm learning a lot. Demistifying myths:D In Burtons, blank - how do you cut the grooves on the front? I have cut grooves on a lathe and with his blank, where the points meet up at the bottom, how do you clamp it down or what kinda jig or fixture is...

Wow please email me at hoskencues@att.net appreciate this generosity! thanks!:thumbup:

Oh I have MACH3. I have not started dabbling in it but once I get my feet wet I'll give you a call Tony. Thanks

http://www.planet-cnc.com/cnc_3axes/index.asp Checking on this, I could see that it seems pretty capable of doing inlays and pockets. As for calibration, there must be some way for sure, to come up with a finished product like this. But then again, I'm not pretty sure how to. I'll try to get...

UI'm currently doing research on CNC and I came across this. Anyone tried their hands on this and would it work for cuebuilding? Thanks

I admire your bravery for giving such an answer to Mr. Hightower - who incidentally has written a book, made videos and makes machinery for building cues:eek:

For free I would, whatever I can learn from it I'll take it:D

John, what kind of material is that? Is that similar to what OB cues are using for their shaft?

congratulations busta!!!

where are you getting these updates? can someone share a link please thanks!
