.050 Nickel Silver rings
- Thread starter FLYINGSNAIL
- Start date
If you cannot locate any I can mill some out of silver sheet for you. It would be cheaper than buying a round and parting off rings. I do not know where to get nickle silver as I have never looked for it.
You might give schon a call, don't they still use some thick rings?

Try this??
Hi Kenny and Guys,
What about putting a 1/64" and a 1/32" N/S Rings together. Only .005" less. Maybe the turning down process will blend the mating lines of the 2 N/S Rings so they are seamless, and, might "Flair out" thicker to look closer to the .050" size N/S Rings...
I was going to try this, but, never got around to doing it..
Any Gamblers...willing to take a chance to see if it works???:embarrassed2:

Ken, This post was from Richard Neighbors a few months back:
"Yours may be one piece of silver, I don't know but when I have used metal in cues where different pieces comes in contact with each, they look as if they become one. I don't know if the heat from friction welds them together or if they are just mashed together or what but when turned to size, all the pieces that had touched, look as if they are one."

Alton,
I've done exactly as you are suggesting numerous times and the outcome is also exactly as you describe. Yesterday I delivered a Scorpion/CueTec that I built a Pred.Z2 for, which needed a .045" silver sandwiched btwn 2, .100" blk. phenolic rings. I put a .015" & a .030" silver together and bingo, a perfect .045". Moral of the story; you use what you have and make it work.
Did a seam show between the two??KJ Cues said:
No, absolutely not.
As Dick is quoted as saying; "I don't know if the heat from friction welds them together or if they are just mashed together or what but when turned to size, all the pieces that had touched, look as if they are one."

All my experiences have yielded similar result.
