Recut points?

[TrxR]

Could someone explain what recut points are?

if you click on the magnifying glass in the upper right corner of your screen, and type in recut points.....you will have more than you wanted to know about them.

Not a cue maker... But in order to know what recut points are you first need to know how "regular" points are achieved. If you know that, just imagine cutting a point into a point. (That's a bit of a simplification. But pretty much the gist.)

If you don't know how regular points are achieved, I suggest you check out Bob Dzuricky's and/or Studiotronics's YouTube channels to see that process.

Instead of adding veneers to point squares, the squares are installed, and then cut out leaving only a small section at the edge, then another square is glued in on top of the old one. If you look very closely at the tip of the points, there will be no seam or glue line.

That's the best answer.
Good God, there's a lot of info That's been covered in the past.
Thank you Dave.

Saves a lot of time if you split the points before hand.

Cue makers that have made them popular with consistent results and different methods to achieve those results.
Skip Weston, jack Madden, Dave Barrenbrugge, just to name a few.

Still at it. Beautiful fall in the mountains, a few deer, turkeys, pheasants, grouse family. The griz are out and about getting apples off trees, but not in my yard (of course I am not out wandering around in the night…it’s bear time). Off subject.

Yes. Here's a cross section of one I made long time ago.
