Cue Components Shaft & Tip Leather Burnisher is Made In The USA of fine quality leather. You can burnish the shaft and cue tips as well.

Just grab the shaft and stroke up and down to seal the wood and make the shaft slick. This will seal out moisture and not allow the grain to raise. The shaft will be slick and smoother to the feel when shooting.

The size is 2.5" x 4".

These are high quality 3/8 x 10 and 3" in length.
These are what we refer to as old reliable and a great choice for cue makers.

Barringer's E-Z Shine Bees Wax is pure, natural and triple filtered as compared to the dirty and nasty looking Tiger Bees Wax. Simply look at the color variation. This product comes in blocks rather than rounds which makes it easier to use and apply. Round doesn't work as well. These are the same weight as the Tiger MAP CRAP Bees Wax but ours is a higher grade and less money too!

You can use these to burnish the sides of tips and use to fill in cracks on tables as well. Do not use this on shafts unless you can burnish with a lathe. These blocks are exceptional quality and value!

This is our Ivorite-III™ Melamine ferrule material; the finest ferrule material available today. This is a Linen Melamine material that is rolled and molded for unequaled performance. This product bonds well with epoxy, cyanoacrylate and wood glue.

They are .562 round X 1 foot in length.

There are knock-offs of this cutter out there which are imported from overseas. Ours is made in America. That's the difference in price. If you want to save then buy their cutter but if you want American quality and precision, then this is the cutter for you.

This tool is great for table top lathes such as Porper, Hightower and Unique (taper shaper and their CNC) as well as larger floor lathes and Align-Rite CNC machines. The diameter is 1.25" with a 1/4" shank; incredibly small but with the necessary power. Carbide Tipped!

This is made on a CNC machine and the blades are all in-line with one another. This is a 6 flute router bit for extreme accuracy, smooth cuts and less vibration. You'll get ultra smooth cuts on shafts and butts. The cut is so smooth that it appears as if the finished piece has been sanded and buffed! Exceptionally clean cuts. A must for the serious cue builder.

We use this 6 flute blade on our router when cutting shafts and butts with our 14" X 40" tapering lathe as well as other machines. This is a great cutter!

- Unsolicited Testimonial -

"I just used my new 6 fluted router blade. This blade is far superior to any other, it's hard to describe the results. The cut is much faster and smoother than anything I have ever used. I want to thank Cue Components for making such a great product available". CS Warsaw, MO

Automatic Tip Shaper

Well, it's finally here and here is as much of it as you could possibly want. This is micarta rod. It is yellowish in color. Its hit resembles the old micarta from years ago. In very high demand! You can probably buy this elsewhere but not at this huge discount.

They are .562 round X 1 foot in length.

These are similar to the 'Radial' pin but we're not allowed to use the word 'radial' as it is trademarked so we're using the word 'radius'. You can buy the 'radial' pin and pay more or you can buy our 'radius' and save money. We defy you to tell them apart.

Carbon Fiber Pool Cue Tip Pads

These are the same carbon fiber tip pads I use in my own builds and repairs when I want strength, consistency, and a clean hit without adding unnecessary thickness.

The carbon fiber creates a solid barrier between the tip and ferrule, helping prevent stress cracks and long-term damage. It also keeps the hit feeling crisp and predictable — no soft compression like paper or fiber pads, and no moisture issues over time.

They’re ultra-thin, lightweight, and extremely durable, so you get protection without changing the feel or height of the tip. Whether you’re building a new shaft or doing a repair, these install clean and stay true.

If you care about doing the job right the first time, these are an easy upgrade.

Why I use them:

• Strong carbon fiber that won’t compress or break down

• Helps protect ferrules from cracking

• Consistent hit and feedback

• Thin profile – doesn’t mess with tip height

• Great for both builds and repairs

Trusted by cue makers, used by me, and ready for your next build.

We recommend using these especially with Genuine Elephant Ivory Ferrules.

Each pad is .062" thick and .625"  diameter.

This pool cue ferrule material is Genuine yellow Westinghouse Linen Micarta from many moons ago. This is a linen based micarta ferrule material (not a paper based micarta ferrule material). This linen based micarta is a strong ferrule material that will still generate a good amount of spin. These are a rare ferrule material so get them while you can. Strictly in limited supply. Pricing subject to change without notice.

The photo above shows raw solid Westinghouse Linen Micarta ferrule blanks in block form, square form, in round form, and a drilled and tapped raw micarta ferrule. And lastly, there is one finished and polished so you know what they will look like when installed (we do nice work, huh!). :-)

These are approximately .540" round x 1.060" in length. The squares have a slightly larger diameter.

Drilled and tapped are supplied in round form only. Squares cannot be supplied drilled and tapped.

Installing a new tip?  Get your cue ready quickly with this sander.  Simply place the cue into the provided slot, press the tip/ferrule against the sandpaper, and rotate.  The easiest way to prep your cue and leave a flat surface for your new tip.

Cue not included.  Includes 2 pieces of 120 grit sandpaper.

This is a tapping accessory for use on all type lathes. This precision aid assures the same tap alignment as the drilled hole to produce accurate, improved threads and it reduces tap breakage. You'll never get more accurate tapping than with this handy tool.

Ease of Operation: Simply place the tap into the tapper. Then insert the tapper into your chuck on the tail stock. Move the tailstock forward and up to the work piece in the same plane as the drilled hole. No power is necessary as the tool is manufactured for hand tapping. Just apply some inward pressure on the "T" handle while turning to start the tap. As soon as the tapping starts, inward pressure is no longer required.

We have tapped with this tool under low power and it produces accurate and smooth threads. We do not recommend tapping under power for safety reasons. For safety we recommend rotating the chuck by hand.

If you've ever had problems creating accurate threads, this handy tool will resolve that problem. We use about 8 of these for all the different tap sizes which we use on a daily basis. They're really handy, accurate and easy to use. Saves time too! Taps not included.

18″ Round Maple Handles 1.375″ Diameter

The best kiln-dried maple available

This is our large concave 'live' center. It's designed to spin a shaft while holding the tip firmly in place. It can be used with any large metal lathe using a chuck.
