Installing a Techno-Dud tip on a JFlowers carbon fiber shaft

[@BrucePorter-c8g]

What is the part number for the bearing device you are using for the end of the shaft. Great setup and nice work.

Hi Question about Outsville Tips.. I ordered a K-Tech soft from pool dawgs website and it looked treated like the one in your video. Then I go and order a K-Tech medium directly from Outsville website but it was a brown color that looked exactly like a Triangle tip. Do you know the if this is correct or was I given the wrong K-Tech product , and what should they actually look like?

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@DiaWithMaliyah Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with the Ki-Tech tips personally. After looking around online, it appears as if they come in both colors. I would suggest reaching out to Outsville and seeing what they can tell you. I am sorry that this is not much help. Thanks for commenting, and good luck.

Great work as always

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

Thank you!

[@ErikGarcia-wt1su]

Is the techno dud a soft or medium tip?

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@ErikGarcia-wt1su They are actually available in soft, medium, or hard on Outsville's website. Thanks for commenting.

Seems like you look really had to take your time with those finer grits. I do my own tips by hand. They med and hard tips come out good but those duds get really pilly when I try to burnish.

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@KeithKelso-e7z I am not sure why that would happen for you. Perhaps you need more speed when burnishing. Thanks for commenting.

[@franksimpson9039]

very good instructional video . would you mind telling what kind of tip glue you use ??, thank you --------

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

Thank you! I use Locktite Ultra Gel Control for playing tips and Loctite Liquid Professional for break and jump tips. Thank you for commenting.

[@tinobriones7922]

Where the you buy the tube for making the extension sir. ?

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@tinobriones7922 I bought it on Amazon. Here is a link to the exact product. FANCYWING 500mm (19.6 inches)... www.amazon.com/dp/B09WZZNNH2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Thanks for commenting.

Why didn't you score the ferrule with a razor blade like in your other install videos? Just asking out of curiosity since i recently got a lathe from mid America.

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

I wanted to try skipping that step in order to save to life of the ferrule. The tip did stay on this shaft, but I have already had trouble with some other tips staying on. From my personal experience, I will no longer skip this step. Congratulations on the lathe! Thanks for commenting!

[@theaveragejoebody]

Where did you pick up that tip holder?

[@theaveragejoebody]

And the plastic tip shaper? I just bought a Cue Smith and I need to find the tools to do tips.

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

The tip holder is just a live center with interchangeable tips. I use the concave tip to center the tips naturally. I purchased it on Amazon. Here is the link : a.co/d/0d83Plo

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

@theaveragejoebody The tip shaper is just something I designed, and 3d printed. Congratulations on your new cue lathe!

[@theaveragejoebody]

@@MapleStreetBilliards Thank you!

[@RioBrands]

What lathe are you using... Thank you

[@MapleStreetBilliards]

It is a Vevor 7"x14" mini lathe. Thanks for commenting.

[@RioBrands]

Yes sir! Keep up the great work... Enjoy
