McDermott sets the standard for manufacturer quality. Paying a premium to their lumber vendors, McDermott has the highest-grade lumber to provide strength, straightness, durability, and beauty in all their cues. McDermott cues ensure the best color, straight grain, tight grain, moisture content and consistency.
The McDermott manufacturing process can be broken up into:
The Shaft Cell - carefully selected maple dowels are turned four times to stabilize the shaft and guarantee straightness. Each shaft is hand tested for a true roll. Shafts are then passed through a numerically controlled computer where ferrule tenons are thread cut and joint holes are bored to as close as 1/1000th of an inch. The ferrule is then hand screwed and glued onto the tenon to produce an extremely strong joint. The ferrule and any decorative rings on the joint are hand screwed and glued. Completed shafts are then stored.
The Butt Cell - with such a variety of woods to choose from (Cocobola, Birdseye Maple, Ebony, and more), McDermott constructs the butts of their cues in a turning center where raw dowels are double turned to within 1/1000th of an inch to achieve near perfect concentricity. A Three-Piece butt is then constructed. The underwrap is cut, the throat is turned and drawn and the sleeve is then created. These pieces are created entirely by hand, screwed and glued together using a special two part epoxy. The appropriate bolt is then selected and inserted into the butt to make sure that each cue maintains the perfect balance point and the exact weight specified by the customer. After assembly, the butts are turned twice more to reduce the likelihood of warpage. Internal and external thread joint tenons are cut and the pin and joint collars are glued and screwed on.
Inlays - The butt pieces are then sent to precision-milling machines to cut the inlay pockets. Through the use of CAM software, the pockets are cut accurately within 1/1000th of an inch to create the astounding graphics drawn up by the McDermott crew of artists. Inlays cut from McDermott's wide selection of woods, precious metal, pearl, ivory, and specialty composites are then inserted and glued into each cue by hand to make that perfect fit. The look is unmistakably McDermott. The inlays are strung tight into the cue and allowed to dry for 24 hours. The strings hold the inlays in place to ensure a very tight fit and a much higher quality end product. Each cue rests for 30 days before being released to customers.
Finishing - Butts and shafts are selected in various combinations to create the exact weight requested. Butts get one more turning to bring them to their final size. Butts are then hand stained with precision and consistency to bring out the full beauty of the wood while maximizing the visual appeal of each cue design. The logo application follows the staining process. Each cue the passes through a specialized UV electrostatic spray booth acquiring a minimum of 5 coats to finish. The cue moves to a sanding room where it gets hand sanded and then a top coat is applied to create depth, shine, and the overall beauty of the cue.
Final Assembly - Wrap application then takes place. The shafts receive their final cut matching them to the required specifications. Each shaft is sanded one more time and sealed with a moisture resistant cue wax for a clear sheen and added protection against wear and tear and warpage. One final roll test is done. Weights are verified.
