How to install a Taom Tip on a pool cue

[@shanemccarthy7282]

That glue info was really interesting didn't know that at all... Thanks

[@lefam5714]

Awesome video!

[@chrishart1974]

World class re tipping right there. Exceptional blade work. 👌 Do Taom tips come in a size workable on a snooker cue.

[@abdiaz66]

thank you very much for the compliment. Taom tips only are available in standard 14mm, however i can machine them down to fit all cues including snooker.

[@rkisf90]

Would you actually want a jump and break pool tip on a snooker cue?

[@kamikazecuetips4944]

Nice video. Great job on the Taom.

[@warrente66]

How do you know how much you are cutting from the tip, from left to right, so that it will not go through the ferrule? Does it have some sort of stopper that you set from the thickness of the ferrule. Hope my question makes sense.

[@AndrewChozen1]

What type of a cutting tool do you use?

[@ronaldfox1277]

What latch are you useing im in Michigan ? Thz alot

[@justinbryson352]

Hi, I am very curious, do you know what RPM that lathe is running at, during the time of this tip install, and do you feel that a certain speed is good while doing tip installs (like not too fast, and not too slow of an RPM)? Do you run the lathe at a certain RPM when cleaning shafts? Thanks for any thoughts about that.

[@michaelalbro6856]

Is that white collet between the chuck and cue tapered on the ID and parallel on the OD? Where can I get one of those? Nice job!

[@abdiaz66]

Michael Albro yes it’s tapered I get these from Joe Porper also the ones atlas billiards sells are great too

[@troyroy78]

Can you use your method of trimming the side of the top with a razor on a leather tip? Are there any particular techniques for this method?

[@abdiaz66]

You can, just make sure you have a lower rpm when using that method on soft tips

[@brianb.2894]

Real good job sir. Thank you.

[@joelmata1984]

I recently acquired a porper q-lathe what tool post would suggest?I've been doing most of my work on an old cue companion and the tool posts are completely different

[@abdiaz66]

To my knowledge any 3/8 tool post should work. The one I use is a stock one from Porper

[@cirwin4099]

do you like your Cue Maker from unique or the Q lathe from Proper better?

[@abdiaz66]

I really depends on the job. For tip work I actually prefer the Cuemaker

[@rosemarcabinta7394]

What do you call that white plastic thing that holding the cue

[@abdiaz66]

It’s called a shaft collet

[@claimerhunter4356]

What kind of lathe sir?

[@garryspeiran4374]

nice job ! showing how its done is agreat idea. clearing chips on a running lathe is not. stop the lathe or use a brush. f ngers cannot be replaced, tools can.

[@bjornmangelschots3840]

Is loctite 401 also ok to use?

[@abdiaz66]

Yes absolutely it’s works just as good

[@MattPolandMI]

I'm just testing the waters of doing this myself. What kind of lathe are you using?

[@abdiaz66]

Matt Poland it's a Joe Porper model B cue lathe

[@kisuke80]

What is that machine called (not automated)

[@abdiaz66]

Joe Porper model b cue lathe

[@blainemurphy1351]

How long does a Taom tip last on a break or jump cue?

[@abdiaz66]

It’s timeless as long as they don’t break or pop off

[@3spressoShot]

@@abdiaz66and as long as you don’t rub on the felt like Johnny archer or else the taom wears down

[@charlesreynolds2871]

What kind of lathe

[@abdiaz66]

Joe Porper model b cue lathe

[@gtownhvac1640]

Real nice video

[@blainemurphy1351]

What's the hardness level compared to phenolic or G10?

[@abdiaz66]

G10 is the hardest, Samsara tips are very very hard for being just leather

[@blainemurphy1351]

So what's the point of a Taom tip then? For grip and cue ball control?

[@abdiaz66]

it has the power of phenolic and g10 but grips the ball well

[@blainemurphy1351]

Have you tried a Cyborg break tip? If so, good as Taom.

[@abdiaz66]

its a great tip very very comprable to a taom i like the taom better.

[@swtorseneca]

What did you use to make the jig/ jigs?

[@aronali1122]

Love this Tip but it breaks so easily... I went through like 5 of them in about 2 months It's a really good tip but they gotta make it stronger it breaks very easily

[@wxgolf]

Me too. Break after 15 days. But this tip is really great!

[@lingkitty1998]

6:04 sounds like king ghidora XD

[@martynroberts1974]

Not a clue what he's doing

[@joeygonzo]

too bad
