gsirca thats a great looking machine. not messy and dangerous looking like others ive seen
shaft cutter
I tried those gyros cutters. Didn't work for me, the teeth aren't flat ground. Did make nice little nicks in the shaft thou. You also have to factor in that the shaft is actually rotating across the face of the cutter as it moves along, no matter how fast the cutter is turning.

My Machine will do just about the same as all the rest,because it is designed like all the rest, just trimed down.This is what makes everybody think that it is different,it looks very simple because it is ,u just have to set it up right and it works great and maybe better then all the rest.I wouldn't build cues without 1 or 2 of them. And the price is 1300.00 thankspdcue said:

Mike bender AKA Bender Cues in Alaska will make you a saw shaft macine, but be prepared to pay!!!
i just stumbled across this thread and i was wondering if some of you guys aren't getting a smooth cut on a CNC lathe.Alex has a saw machine and yes the 100 tooth blade cuts very smooth,but his CNC lathe cuts them in 1 and half minutes almost as smooth with the 6 blade bit.you can sand it smooth in no time.
Jessh, less than 2 minutes?masonh said:
Freakin ey, it takes me hours to do cut 50 shafts.
It'd be more if I use a 2-bit. So I use a 3-wing slot cutter. Cuts pretty smooth but I have to knock the router speed in half.

The speed at which a shaft can be completed is totally determined by the speed that the shaft is rotating. The faster the rotation then the faster the linear speed can be increased. The speed of rotation is determined by the whip in the shaft and the whip in the shaft is greatly determined by the end pressure put on the shaft between centers. The more pressure, the slower the RPM. I run my shaft machines at around 150 RPM using a 12" 72 tooth blade. When using a 10" blade it is recommended that a 60 tooth blade be used but every machine has it's own idiosyncrasies as to what works best. My machines take 4 min 10 seconds to make a 30" pass. If you are completing a shaft in 1.5 min. then your shaft must be running at close to 500 RPM or you would be getting a barber pole effect. On preliminary passes you can run a little faster but on the final pass the shaft should come out needing very little sanding, maybe a minutes worth using 800 and 1200 grit. The more sanding that you do the more you will lose your original profile.

Cnc Shaft Cutting
I Have 3 Differant Cnc For Ctting Shaft This Is One From Align Rite Here It Is Cutting A Butt Section The One We Use Most Cuts 8 Sfats At A Timeits A Upright And Has 2 Axis The Cutting Is Done By A Palnner Head Shafts Move Up And Down Thats The X Axis And Planner Moves In And Out Thats Your Y Axis 8 Hrs Cuts Over 500 1" Dowels First Pass We Will Post A Video Soon As It Comes Back From Being Modified

The only problem with that shaft machine from Align Rite is that they are not planning on making any more. Align Rite said that they don't have enough demand for those to build any more of them right now. However, they still have their CNC cue building system....
Yup, who needs to cut 8 shafts at the same time?johnf_34 said:
I'll be glad when I can finally start cutting on 1
I saw one machine in the making.
Looks like it'll be a nice one.
Might be a year b4 it comes out.
