TweetenRapid Cue Top Sander Repair Billiard Pool Stick Tip

Genuine Tweeten. Last time, I bought one of these from a different seller for the same price and got a cheaply made piece of junk. This one is made of thick, quality materials, is straight, and flat, and works perfectly. Would (will) buy again. Thank you!

This does the job, but the sand paper it comes with is too much of a grit and leaves curved grooves. I suggest getting lighter grits of sand paper to make the job look cleaner.With that said, this is a solidly constructed tool that does what it says and works well. Get it if you have no one with a lathe to put tips on for you.

Works great, just remember to rotate the cue shaft 90 degrees four times right at the end of the sanding process so you will have a super flat ferrule surface for your felt spacer and the new tip to set upon. Oh yeah DON"T use Super Glue Jell om the surfaces, use the liquid so it can soak into the surfaces to be joined. Happy Hustling! Oh yeah, try out the Morakami II™ tips their better than the Kamui and cost a lot less. If you can't find them for 20-25 bucks send me a message and I'll hook you up. Jim

Great product

The sander is very easy to set up and use and the 50 grit sandpaper makes quick work of flattening the plastic or wooden tip of a billiard cue stick. It has two positions to make best use of the surface of the sandpaperThe plastic sleeve tips are concave to match the actual tip glued to them, so the sander quickly and easily flattens the plastic to accept a flat-bottomed replacement tip.Superglue seems to work best on flat surfaces, so I use 100 or 150 grit sandpaper to remove the scratches of the 50 grit.It would be great if the kit came with a higher grit (100 or 150) sandpaper to "finish off" the tip of the cue stick, but it is readily available locally.

Works when you don’t have lathe handy

Be warned, this thing might be dirty, getting everything it touches black and gritty. Minimal cleanup of casting and only the necessary grinding of some of the uneven places seemed all that was done to the frame except for finishing the bearings, which were reasonably smooth but not impressively so. The shaft and the bearings were marginally lubricated and had a generous coating of black grit.I suggest you unpack this thing in a place where you can wash it with a solvent, degrease it, deburr it, and lubricate it properly.Plate easily serves as a template for cutting sandpaper discs, which you might wish to do using a finer grit; the one in the box wasn't labeled, but it appeared to be around 80 grit. Though I assume this was intentional, I think it is too coarse, leaving a deeply grooved surface on the shaft/ferrule.Cue clamp on mine is quite rough, so take precautions lest you damage your shaft.On a positive note, it works.I suppose the bearings are OK, but there should have been better cleanup and more surface grinding on the casting, especially in the cue clamp area; furthermore, either mine is out of spec or the outer bearings are designed for 9mm shafts. The sanding disc would not reach the outer edge of my 13mm shaft when placed in the outer bearing; it left about 1/32 exposed. It cleaned up easily from the innermost bearing, but, even so, one would think that either bearing should reach across any ordinary shaft.With a bit of attention to detail, this could have been a really nice tool. Mine looks to be just another marginal piece of junk from China, even though it is MADE IN THE USA! Shameful.

These are great, still made today as they were back in 1960’s. Good tool .a must have if you’re leveling the ferrel ( collar ) !

I was expecting it to work fine and was not disappointed, their is nothing to it the hard part is to get it strait and flat this does it in no time I use to do them by hand and it was time consuming the only thing to worry about is to take care not to damage the would when tightening the tool I just wrapped a peace of paper around the shaft and that did it. Because we dont do this operation very often and it is a little expensive I put it off. Know I am very satisfied and I enjoy fixing them even for my friends.

I love the product but I only received 1 sanding disc and the advert stated 12.I would love the seller to get in touch to arrange extra discs if possible?

I have to admit that using this tool seemed sketchy to me.I have forty years since I started i the machinist's/fitter trade and recently retired.My four in one tool was giving me a slight crown on the end ... not good for bonding a new tip to.This guy showed up and zip,zip,zip.Two minutes and I was done and squared !In fairness,I did watch the video about this on YouTube.It is really easy to use and pretty accurate.I recommend this one for sure !Just don't use a lot of pressure on this when you're using it.Use the outer ring to rough and the inner to finish.Make sure the emery paper isn't creased when you screw the disc together.Enjoy.

arrivez avant temp merci bon service
