So finish turning my router mount into an engine mount for a 68 olds and am ready to mount up my first cue refinish. I measure out 29 inches off of one of the cheap ace cues I have in the shop and start cutting. I hit something hard halfway through and immediately stop. I look in the cut and see threads. SOB. They put a weight bolt in the middle. I pull off the rubber bumper and sure enough a solid piece of wood. I looked at the other cues and saw they were the same cues.... Damn. I have some Dufferins that I forgot to bring today. So I put in the square of poplar that I rounded with my router last week and tested the cuesmith drive spur I got this week. Worked like a champ
Question is: what percentage of house cues are built this way. I assume the Dufferins will be built correctly but what others should I avoid?
