Just curious, what's wrong with the micarta from Atlas.
out of the 4 i have TRIED to use, all 4 have split (delaminate... if you will), and the last two, i tried to bore the hole (after drilling starter hole) and it still split, when i tried to tap it (plug, then bottom tap), and even atlas knows they are a problem, they are not going to sell anymore of them after the current supply is exhausted, saying too many people are having problems??? Have you used it, and/or have you had any problems with it???Michael Webb said:Just curious, what's wrong with the micarta from Atlas.
Well, most of the answers to those questions are subjective, you could post on what cues you currently have, and what you like/dislike about them, and maybe someone would help you out.Cybercup said:My dear guys,

Brass screw is a little lighter than SS steel.Cybercup said:I'm going to order my first custom cue but I got entangled with large number of custom specificationsas. As I've been playing only with serial cues I didn't think much about such things so I have some questions about types of joints/ferrules.
What advantages has brass screw over others?
What is the major difference between Ivorine 3 and Ivor-x ferrules?
What advantages and disadvantages have Linen Fiber and Phenolic joints?
What kind of joint/ferrule would you prefer and why?
Please reply or post a link to a site where I can find the answers.
Thank you in advance.

In fact I can't say what I like/dislike because I have been shooting only with serial viking/predator and I dont know anybody that has a cue with the options that I want to try. So I have to find enough information to make the right choice. I have sent my inquiry to Mr Jackson of the Viattorre cues but he hasn't answered yet.
Thank you.
Hi Joseph, how small? I can do it, but need to know a couple of things.Joseph Cues said:Blud, do you make jigs to cut v-point on a small lathe too?
Thanks.
Joseph, that will not be a problem. Just make sure you have a big spindle hole. [Not for cutting vee points] just for drilling and boring handles, and fronts. You might already be set up for that anyway.Joseph Cues said:Blud, I am trying to acquire a 9 by 24 South Bend right now.
billfishhead said:blud,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,any idea of where i can find ebony shaft blanks ?
blud said:Even if he taps the hole, instead of grind cutting the threads, the hole must be of the right size.
don't say i never gave you anything (beside's that cyber slap) lolJoseph Cues said:Duh! Thanks Jon.
Blond moment.
I threaded the inside of our ferrules. It's 5/16 18 inside.
The cutter is 1/4 and we threaded around 20 thou deep each side.![]()
