Well I finally got pissed off enough to go get a new saw for my shaft machine. I rebuilt the old one a few years back and it has worked but I always wanted something better. It has been nothing but problems for the last year or so. So, today I went and picked up a new jet saw and couldent be happier! It is really quiet and runs smooth as could be. The most amazing thing happened too! I removed the cnc fixture from the old saw, made my measurements, mounted the fixture on the new saw, cycled it 1 time and added 1 shim and fired it up and made a test cut. It cut perfect, not even .001 off from how it was running before. The funny thing is I had several shims in various locations on the old saw to make it cut right. I also spent hours getting everything back working right everytime I messed with the old saw. I will get some dust collection going tomorow and away I go. Chris.

I love jet equipment. I have an 18 inch band saw and there 6 inch jointer and man do they work great...
 
Congratulations on your new saw.

It takes a lot of work tweaking everything and I am happy that it is working so well for you.

Good Cuemaking,
 
Just thought I would post the info so if anyone was needing a saw. I also have the 18in jet bandsaw and it is great. Chris.
 
Chris, care to take a pic of the inside of that apparatus?
Thompson rail? Where the pivot is and how?
Overhang prevention?
thnx
 
Joey, Care to send me the rest of the pictures from your avatar? :D
I will get some for you, the piviot is visible in the second picture. The horizontal black piece rides on a bearing controlled by the stepper. The arm is attached to a carrige that slides in the alum rails. There is no overhang protection as you will crash the leadscrew before you could run off the end. There is no linnear bearing rails on this one, the carrige slides on plastic bearing material. I had planned on adding some but after nearly 2 years of use there is no measurable wear so I haven't had any reason too. I found these old pictures on the computer, these were pre dust collection on this machine. It runs much cleaner now. Chris.

Joey, you can order one, from me. I designed and built many of them a few years back. They come complete, including a loaded Dell, lap top computer, with programs for, shaft, handle, butt, seleve, and forearm drawings, for $3,250.00, plus shipping cost.
No need for bearings as Chris mentioned, the slides work well, and wear for a long, long time. The machine is a good one. Lots of guys buy them, then mount them on a cheap saw, much trouble, old and cheap saws, much trouble....Have sold around 120 of my saw machines over the years..single headed, two, 4, and 8 headed saws
PS, Chris, turn your dust collector on, my friend, dust be bad for your lungs.....

Hey Blud. I have dust collection on it. The realy dusty pics were when I first got it set up and ran a few test pieces thru it. I just got the hoses put on the new saw. It is working great now. Chris
 
out

Hi John, yes, I have droped out, but when some of these guys need help, just can't help myself. I still teach cue making, [HANDS ON] not from a book.... I just do not understand some of the questions ask now a days. Some of the questions, makes one wonder if some of these guys are really building cues, or what......
I was visiting with another cue maker the other day, and he said the same thing to me, HOW CAN THEY BUILD A CUE, with no knowledge at all. Totally clueless was his words. Clueless..You can't learn it all from books, hands on is best.
But as we all realize now a days, the internet has made many of experts in any field, you can think of. Just mention any type of work, and boooooom, the experts are there, and do talk crap for the most part. Problem is, many guys just listen to the so called experts,[who for the most part are clueless], then they get started in the wrong direction. This is bad for the billiard industry. Lots of qualifided folks out there, and many, well, are clueless.....
Please guys, to those of you who, can build cues, and know what there doing, PLEASE DON'T TAKE this the wrong way. For the guys who need help, ask a qualifided cue maker..Plenty of them out there too.
I think most of us know, who's who, who just wants to be out there....
