I really love this video. I have never seen a cue repair person go through all of these steps, during a tip install. Whatever you are charging, it must be a bargain, I think. Looks like a really great tip job.

What kind of lathe? Seems like something with a digital control. Nice work.

Hi, I am very curious, do you use a lathe steady rest, to hold the back end of the shaft while doing this? I have been thinking about buying a Mini Metal Lathe (like maybe a 7 by 14 inch mini metal lathe for example), but the issue I am trying to figure out is if I would need a steady rest to hold the back end of the shaft, and how I would go about doing that, if that is something that I would need. Thanks for any thoughts about this. By the way, I would be a complete beginner, and the reason I like the mini metal lathes, is because they come all setup, when delivered, and from the videos I have watched, they seem pretty easy to use. I think I might just have to get the Mid America Micro Lathe though, that is custom built for doing shaft repairs.

I don't have any experience with the mid American lathe. I have 3 of the cue Smith lathes and they work great for what we do.

Nice looking tip. I notice you burnish the tip. What do you use to make the sides of tip shine like that?

@arsbilliards Жыл бұрын

I used a polishing paste to shine up the clear ferrule

Flitz polish works great here. Ferrules, clear pads, tip sides after burnish etc. Works great to restore that coating of Defy shafts. Light sand 800 and up then Flitz restores it well.

Good job on the install! I see there's a yellow paste and then a white paste. I understand one is polishing paste, what's the other? And the purpose of it? Again, thanks for sharing!

Wow, that looks scary as hell, how close you are getting your fingers to that 3 jaw chuck, while the lathe is spinning it. I wonder what RPM you are turning the shaft at in this video.

@arsbilliards 8 ай бұрын

It's not as bad as it looks. It's spinning pretty slow and the chuck is rounded off. Even if you brush your hand against it, it doesn't hurt at all.

I like to wipe the area to be glued with 99% alc to remove any loose stuff or oils. It dries almost immediately. I have not had a tip come off in 15 years at least. I use super glue gel as well. What's your prep for the bottom of the tip. I sand as flat as I can on 40 or 60 grit ish flash surface. Then I like to drag it across a microfiber. To get the loose stuff off it. The 99% alc can work here as well much takes much longer to dry and have been skipping this step lately. I use a leather strip to burnish. coarse side then shiny side last. I like to reshape the tip one last time after burnishing as sometime it goes into the edge of the tip and may make it slick and more prone to miscue.

@arsbilliards Жыл бұрын

For the bottom of the tip I sand it flat with 120 and dust it off with pressurized air.

@MrADVANCEDTEK Жыл бұрын

I scuff my tips then apply glue(gel) and wipe it on a flat box. Let it dry and scuff(220 grit) again each time using a towel to clean. No tip popoff in years also.

@@arsbilliards Thanks a lot for that info. Have you tested different speeds , or were you told that is the best rpm speed for this type of this? What about cleaning a shaft? About the same rpm is best? Is any faster or slower make a big difference? Like if the slowest a lathe will turn at is 1100, would that be bad? Thanks..
