Come on, a glue line or two gives a cue character ...why go to all the trouble to avoid them???
Just kidding, looks very clean. Nice work Joey :thumbup:
Zowwie. Very nice. I can't wait til I can afford a thread milling attachment.
4-flute end mill cuts really clean too.
Just make sure you were a respirator and eye protection when cuttin' phenolics.
hi joey, pls pardon my ignorance. :embarrassed2:
what part of the cue does it go to? looks cool! :smile:
Yea, that phenolic dust is pretty tough.
We don't have a good dust system on the gang lathe and when we cut phenolic rings the dust builds up. We cut threaded rings, about .300", from a 48" stick. We get about 120 a stick. After several sticks the phenolic dust is pretty thick! The .125" rings are even worse because we cut so many more of them at a time.
I like the looks of your ring, but I do have a question. If the white ring is captured, do you really need to thread it to the phenolic core? I don't find any fault with what you've done. Just thinking out loud.
It's one of those while I'm where why don't I just do it thingy.
It's definitely an overkill with that threaded sleeve pushing it against the butt sleeve should be enough.
For those who asked what it is, it's an antler piece as Hoppe ring at the bottom of the cue.

What is the ID threaded for ??? To screw on the butt cap ??
