Forgot to add the potential for issues by trying this type of inlay on a tapered cylinder. It might be best to leave a small gap between the rows or have no taper at all in the portion of the cue that receives the inlay strips. Tapering the inlay strips and grooves is also possible but would...

Very cool and unique project! I think you might find the necessary precision tools that you will need by looking for products geared toward miniature ship builders. A precision miter box with fine cut saw modified with an adjustable stop to produce square pieces with consistent lengths would...

The directional component of force has been ignored in this debate so far. You have also ignored the effect of velocity on force in your table saw example. The saw blade in your example with a mass 100 times that of the router bit, would also have a velocity approximately 1/10 that of the...

Does every post you make need to contain the assertion that the tools or abilities of others are inferior to your own? Your assumption of 100% cutting efficiency is impossible. The laws of physics apply to even you, Thomas. The math involved in calculating the unintended dynamic forces...

F=M x V, in and of itself the effect of the mass on the force exerted on the work piece is small. As the required velocity is also less due to the diameter of the bit, the cumulative gain is worth while. I use a T-slot bit that has a 3/4" diameter of cut, the mass of a 1/4" 2 flute straight...

You also need to account for the rpm of the router in relation to the diameter of the bit to control the surface speed of the cutting surface. This is only true with an increase of mass. Assuming the same style bit, yes. You can accomplish the same thing with a T-slot cutting bit and...

Yesterday I received a phone call from an old friend asking for my help and advice on planning for his pool room he will be opening. I haven't even seen the building yet but wanted to get some general guidelines and ideas before taking the measurements next week. He is planning to open on...

You can buy a dyed maple McDermott for about the same $200 new. If it had plain collars, nothing special in the way of materials and a single shaft, that might be a reasonable price for your first cue. But how much time did you have into it? And what was your material cost? Just keep in mind...

It depends on the cue design, the materials used, where you live, and the quality of your work. Remember that if you undervalue your own work attempting to sell it, so will everyone else. It is my opinion that you need to log the cost of materials and the time taken to complete each and every...

The reason to use a pilot is to maintain the strength and alignment that 1" of thread contact on the joint pin affords but reduce the length of the butt when disassembled. If you would like to use a case instead of a rubber band, the longer the cue the more important it is unless you always...

That is correct. If it is concentric it will not wobble. Perhaps you should speak for yourself as your post implies that "real" Southwest Cue enthusiasts are ignorant and "all" Southwest Cues are poorly made. And finding "any" other Southwest Cue enthusiast that agrees with those...

Some one pulled the brand name sticker off at the same time as the made in China sticker. Look at the severe variation in ring thickness, the lack of alignment of the inlays and stitch rings, the wood tear-out along the shafts joint collar, there is a reason there are no markings.

The cue is labeled as a Keever. The OP titled the photos as a Keever. Maybe, just maybe, it is a Keever.

#1 not a conversion but a Viking made titlist #2 is a Viking also

I don't think it would be worth the effort. Unless you took other steps to reduce vibration the gains would likely be minimal. Increase the mass by filling the U-channel similar to the way that Taig does, employ some type of vibration dampening to the mounting system of the lathe bed and then...

The Lucasi Hybrid Air Hog weighs between 7 and 8 oz per manufacturer specifications and I consider it slightly above average weight for a 42" jump cue. It is not light. No. I meant that the jump cues assembled weight should be close to 6 oz. Ideally the weight of the jump cue would be...

Things that you must keep in mind is finished specifications for the jump section to be effective for most people require a weight around 6 oz and length between 40 and 44"s. Jump cues have to be a minimum of 40" long to be used in most tournaments or league play. Joint and pin material should...

Just guessing but... It is using standard alpha numeric references for the basics. 1 and 2 are your AC line voltage input. T1 and T2 is for the motor. A1 is also used for motors with a separate armature connection. These motors should have connection diagrams that identify armature and...
