This is the original shaft
machine that Mike Bender of Bender Cues used years ago. It was
purchased from Joe Gold in 1994, after he had several years use out
of it. It still works fine and is used to turn all the wood
stock round. It has interchangeable templates for the front,
handle, butt, and shafts. The shaft turning assembly itself
rests atop a Powermatic 66 table saw. It has been used here
for several years now, and is an excellent machine.

Here is a picture of the shaft
machine close up cutting a shaft from a top view. In this
particular pass, it is cutting a round dowel from 1" to
.900" at the tip with my taper. This is only one of about
24 passes that will be made on the shafts for my cues. This pass
is the deepest cut the shaft will get. After this, the cuts will
all be .025" each time.

This is a side
view of the shaft machine in action. In the picture you can see
the saw blade is lined up directly under the shaft, and the shaft is
being dragged in parallel across the blade. Notice all the
micrometers and the air nozzle that keeps the sawdust off the roller
bearings.. This is a very nice machine, and they are not cheap!

The galvanized steel pipe on the
wall in the picture above is for the Delta 1.5 HP Drum mounted vacuum
system. Pictured at left is the vacuum itself. It has a
separator that collects dust as small as 5 microns, and sucks the
bigger particles into the can. This type of system is called a
cyclone, and generally has better results than a regular vacuum
system.
