This product is specifically designed to install tips and has a 'rubber toughened" mixture which can withstand and absorb the shock of the 'hit'. Other epoxies and glues bond well but the glue cracks from the hit and therefore can cause premature debonding whereas the tip will pop off. The rubber toughened formula absorbs this impact and does not crack.

Now, for the best part... all rubber toughened cyanoacrylates are black in color. This is extremely messy to use but does work great. However, our formula is available in a clear mixture only!!! A great breakthrough for the tip installer.

These are offered as 1oz bottles. This is sufficient to do many, many tip installations.

Cyanoacrylates (CAs) have become the adhesive of choice for many cue building applications. High quality CAs, when used properly, form bonds that in many cases are stronger than the material that is being adhered.

Our Cyanoacrylates are highly refined which, combined with its freshness, gives a guaranteed 2 year shelf life. There is no finer CA available.

A Word From Cue Components: We have used every product on the market and this CA is by far the finest for custom cue building. Our CA is highly refined and fresh, fresh, fresh. Our CA doesn't sit in the manufacturers warehouse and then sit on store shelves for months. Freshness is very important. Try it and see for yourself. If you are not 100% satisfied, just return the unused portion for a complete refund.

How To Use Cyanoacrylates

Heat and moisture will decrease the shelf life of CAs. Unopened bottles can be stored in a freezer or refrigerator, but allow them to reach room temperature before using. Keep your bottles in a cool place that won't be exposed to direct sunlight and store away from bottles of accelerators. Due to the freshness of our CAs, their shelf life is guaranteed for 24 months.

For the initial opening of the top, loosen and retighten the top first to relieve internal pressure, then hold the bottle against a near vertical surface and cut off the top 1/32" with a knife or razor blade without squeezing the bottle. To prevent clogging, do not let the tip of the nozzle touch a surface that has been sprayed with any Accelerator. Before replacing the colored cap, set the bottle down hard to knock the remaining CA back into the bottle before squeezing it in an upright position to blow air through the nozzle, then wipe the tip clean.

With all CAs, the closer the parts fit together, the stronger the bond. Always hold the bonding surfaces together as tightly as possible. Any rough spots on the mating surfaces should be smoothed out. Although CAs will hold objects together with considerable strength within seconds, the full strength of the bond is not reached for several hours. Allow for this before subjecting parts to maximum stress. Also, CAs are generally a little less brittle and have higher strength when they are allowed to cure on their own.

Please Note: All our Cyanoacrylates are offered in 2 oz bottles. When comparing price, be sure you are comparing 2 oz bottles. These are 2oz bottles so be sure to compare similar sizes when checking prices.

Insta-Set is a catalyst which acts as an accelerator that allows CA's to quickly cure in thick layers by enhancing the alkaline conditions during polymerization. Insta-Set in a spray bottle is normally used to cure the CA that flows from joints when parts are pressed together. Applying an additional bead of thick CA along the seam and then curing it with Insta-Set significantly enhances a joints strength. For difficult to bond materials, Insta-Set can be applied to one surface and CA to the opposite surface. When brought together, they will bond instantly. Insta-Set is formulated so that it activates the CA in 6-8 seconds without any significant degrading of the CA's strength (which can occur with many other accelerators). It is compatible with all surfaces.

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!

This is much safer to use than regular Cyanoacrylates. It is 100% odorless and as such it does not let off the fumes and odor of other Cyanoacrylates. In fact, the thin is used by many cue makers to finish their cues. It provides an easy way to finish a cue quickly while providing a very hard finish. Of course you can use the regular thin Cyano but this is safer when using it on large areas.

Safety should always be exercised when working with any Cyanoacrylates. As always, use a good respirator.

MADE IN AMERICA

Here are 2" wide rolls of 75 feet long. This is Klingspor sandpaper; the finest sand paper for your sanding needs. We recommend it over 3M any day!

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.

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.
