New cue, Bender or Capone

[classiccues]

im sure the only thing cuemakers agree on is glue drying wastes the most time followed by cutting wood

its not my fault if someone takes more steps than nessasary, why wouldnt they just glue them all at once? oh wait this is where you would say it cant be done. although its good to see you got off that statement..... did you ask yourself all those ?s , or did you realize the capabilities of cnc.

They cannot cut them all at once because they are called RECUTS. Hence the name. The best you can do is to glue all of one veneer at one time. But it still requires removal from whatever you have making the pockets to setting in a glue jig. Then you have to turn it down and "recut", see the name, and do it again. I didn't get off any statement. Until you show me an autoloading cnc machine I don't buy it. Its not feasible and a waste of time from all the set ups I have seen.

you went from material to difficulty to cant be done to labor intensive? but did you compare 10 cues from each type and wonder why one is executed better than the other?.

First things first, all those are in reference to different items you bring up. None of them were related to any one thing. Material was in response to one point, difficulty to another and so on. Yes I have seen many of each. Some recuts were better than others and some veneers were better than others. Point?

you said it was the veneer material (holly sycamore) but arent there other choices? isnt it true meucci has been using hard maple since before he was making cues? does he have a problem with hard maple? and if that was truly the reason why not just make his own veneers out of the woods he wanted to use? instead of changing the method? hhhhmmmm maybee there is another reason....could it be possible?

Bob uses the same veneers every one else uses. They are sycamore and holly.

ML, to make things easier, please be specific to the point you are trying to debate. Let us know if its a CNC point, a Recut point, or a veneer point, machining method whatever.

ML,
You have a very bad habit of twisting whats being said. I asked if the recuts were so easy, why wasn't it done that many years ago. That question has nothing to do with veneering.

They have to do the recuts better. If they are off a hair you get a very visible heavy side.

sorry joe you must not have understood i meant recut were being done 25 yrs ago.
did you notice bluds comment of seeing recuts around 1965?

and its very funny to me you even put 10 yrs in your statement surely you have seen a S.W. from jerry with them? the first time i met jerry he showed me one he was working on.
tommy kennedy played with one for years.

im guessing in a hair you 0.003"

if the set up is not good obviously neither will the product be.

i would still love to hear anwers to some of my other ?s

and i would also like your help and opinions on another subject, sometime in the future ill try to get it started.
