I have a pechauer rogue that I want to replace the ferrule but I want to know how you protected the carbon fiber from being scratched. I have a cue Smith lathe mid size Iam wondering how to cut the ferrule down without scratching the carbon fiber
You make a mandrel for the chuck where the shaft screws in.
You make a nylon bushing that fits on the shaft near the tip end and you hold in steady rest.
Then, you screw the shaft to the mandrel and dial in the shaft near the chuck to zero runout.
You dial in the tip of the shaft so it has no runout (as little as you can dial in) at the steady rest.
You use a turning tool to cut the old ferrule off, taking light cuts until you reach the ferrule-shaft interface.
You, then make up a new ferrule to fit the shaft you have left.
You epoxy it to the shaft and allow to harden.
You turn the ferrule down until it is barely larger than the shaft,
You finish by using fine grit sanding paper to give the ferrule a nice polish and take the last couple of thou off the ferrule.
You, then, face the ferrule to the tennon.
At this point you are ready to mount a new tip.
I think it is the nylon bushing that you have not envisioned. This is what prevents scratches on the shaft.
