Tiger Saber T Ferrules

I found that some linen based ferrule are very brittle, and they will crack just like you described.

I may get some tiger ferrules to see how they hold up.

I really like a material called XTC introduced by Atlas a few years back, but it was bought by the Chinese factory so it is not for sale to the public anymore.:confused:

The XTC is what they are using on the Smart shaft, it is very clean, tough, and easy to glue and machine.

I also see that being used on some inexpensive cues made by the Chinese factory which is now building Predator shafts and cues.

I think they bought out the right to the XTC because of the volume they are able to purchase.

You liked XTC?
Dear lord. You didn't like Ivor-X but you liked spongy xtc?
Me's confused.
I wish MCB is still around and as ferrules. Now those ping like the old melamine.
 
I biuld and make a lot of things, cues are not one of them. But having read all of this, I will ask that my next ferrule replacement be threaded all the way, both ferrule and tennon. Thats the way I had assumed they were done? it is certainly the way I would want mine, given a choice.Am I missing something? this would give equal glue and equaly tension to all parts. and with a 1960's rental lathe I feel it could be done.

Don't even need a lathe.
Just a threading die.
But with a metal lathe, you can leave a shoulder for the threaded tenon.
