Since I am to cheap to pay $17 per inch for premade ring stock and don't want to be limited to what is avalible to everyone else. I made a router table with a indexable carraige. Just made it out of junk I had around the shop. Who says cue making has to be expensive. Cost of to make, zero. Being able to make myown ring, priceless.

I like the innovation and you're getting the job done.
It's not real elite but hey, it's a start.
I commend you for that. You've shown personal initiative.

With regards to the price you quoted of $17/in., I don't know if you are speaking of the raw, bare billet or inlaid, but $17/in is cheap.
FWIW, I get $15 per ring(.080-.100") and $25 per ring for sterling silver inlaid Cog rings. Wait until you have to inlay 30 slots with sterling and you'll know why the price is what it is. It takes 3 ft of sterling to do 1" of billet. I guess it comes down to, 'what's your time worth'?

Necessity is the mother of invention. I'm actually more interested in that 60's Mustang in the background.

Mr. H....go to the first page of this thread and you can see pictures of his shop with two 60's fastback mustangs and two other cars underneath covers that you can't see! That will help you see the mustangs better!
