Hi i like your video .did you buy an extension for the shaft or did it come with the lathe

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

I bought a pillow bearing on Amazon and then made an insert out of delrin for the back end of the shafts. Thanks for commenting.

[@Gr1mTh3R34p3r]

Always love your videos what lathe are you using I know you said it was a Amazon one.

Thank you very much! The lathe is a 7"x14" Vevor mini lathe.

I have the same lathe works good but i was wondering what tool holder you are using and where did you get the tip holder

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

I am using a Shars 250-000 OXA quick change tool post. I just recently upgraded for a cheaper 250-000 that I purchased on eBay. I am very happy with the Shars. The quality and finish are top-notch. Here is a link to the eBay listing: www.ebay.com/itm/334120461883?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=EQxb9pehRie&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=DYNm-5LmQfK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY The tip holder is actually just a live center with a concave tip on it. I purchased this one from Amazon. It has interchangeable tips. Here is the Amazon link: Taytools 468907 8 Piece Set Live Revolving Center MT2 Taper for Woodturning and Wood Lathes a.co/d/fvR48xV. Thanks for commenting.

Do you by any chance have a link for that tip center tool concave live center you use?

So everytime by replacing the tip, they grind the ferrule as well? I mean about 2 mm gone

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

2mm is a very large amount when it comes to pool cues. When I trim off a small layer from the ferrule, I am only taking off 1 or 2 thousandths of an inch. That is a miniscule amount of material. Yes, I do have to remove some material from the ferrule, but I do my best to remove the smallest amount possible. Thanks for commenting.

[@capacheto]

It's called facing off. Need a new clean square surface to adhere the new tip to. It's a very small amount, the material coming off of the tool makes it look like more than it is. On my own cues I put a sacrificial pad on the ferrule so future tip changes only require facing off the pad and not the ferrule.

[@rudys20022002]

That nipple at the end of tip drives me nuts I would cut it down to the next layer for the tip to play better... They develop a tink sound and or play hard due to the glue for that layer
