Inlay point cutting jig for milling machine

one of the best cue builders in the country is using one just like this. He sells his cues in the range from $2000-$15000. He does not use any CNC machines. Does all of his inlay work with a Gorton pantograph. His cues are a true custom built cue.

If it's the guy I'm thinking of, his pantograph patterns are CNC cut - making the distinction a pretty fine line I'd say.

And, out of curiosity, are you suggesting that a cue built using CNC will not (or cannot) be "a true custom built cue"? Surely you can't be fool enough to think the use of CNC is the dividing line between "custom" and "non-custom" cues... can you?

This man is posting here in the machinery section to try and sell his jig. Please don't highjack his thread with an unrelated and pointless debate...

Here let me help everyone define what "custom" means. It means anything that is made as the customer or maker wants. It has nothing to do with how it was made.

If that indexer is 40:1 then you would do 5 full turns and 15 holes on a 21 hole index plate.

I am glad there is some one else that knows how to use a dividing head.
That is a nice looking set up.
It is a shame I am not state side, post to NZ will be a killer.

It's a for sale thread, not a debate thread. If you want to debate cnc vs. panto, custom vs whatever.. etc... then kindly post your new thread here http://forums.azbilliards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=22
Hope this helps, :thumbup:

I didn't raise the issue here to begin with, but I'll feel free to debate it within whatever thread it's raised.

Hope this helps... helps you understand the concept of free and open discourse, that is.

No disrespect Mr. Wayne but I think the the resilience to discuss it lies in the fact that this has been debated to death. People have very definite ideas when it comes to the meaning of hand made or machine made. You can present all the evidence and inteligent arguments that you wish but it wont change there minds one way or another. Just my take on it.
