I agree with you about the bottom roller slipping while trimming the ferrule but I think I am more concerned about the shaft not being straight and the gap between the ferrule and the shoulder of the shaft itself. I think the concept could work be they need to but in a little more work.
Sorry, you shortened the length of the shaft because the tenon was too small for the ferrule. Next time cut your own ferrules to avoid having to cut into the shaft.
@@exarcherbullsgap449 That was an old worthless Cobra cue. I am sure that he used that cue in order to make the video, and show what the lathe can do, because the shaft was worthless anyways.
The rubber rollers need to have something to cover it and you will need to have a vacuum to vac out all the while it running, as you can see your rubbers roller pickup a lots of woods white plastic that would make the rollers slippery.
This is a well made machine, but may be too limited IMHO....... It will help some folks work on their cues. I have a full blown Machine Lathe to do my work on. Good Luck...
i cant imagine a concession vendor taking this much time to fix 1 tip when he maybe has 500 pooltables and 3000 sticks in service at his locations. even 100 tables and 600 sticks , we use to send back a dozen a month to fix
i designed and built my own lathe because nothing i looked at was worth buying.... been using it for 25 years and still going strong.... powered by a 1/3 hp furnace blower motor....no shit... lmfao.....btw.... with a few modifications that gadget would actually work quite well as was pointed out... better stabilization on the rollers, centering collets and shims (although not many cue repair guys ive seen would know how to use them) and at no point did i see a dial indicator and way too many tool changes with wrenches that could easily be made into hand tight parts.. Those of you that know how important it is to spin yer work as true as possible i know can see this machine has potential for what its designed to do....but it will never be a "lathe".
I agree 💯. It is obviously over priced and not a lathe, but with some mods it can definitely be accurate enough for what it was made to do. And most of the problems talked about are user error anyway. I have a taig based lathe and with out shimming and calibration it isn't accurate either. Also as far as time went I again completely agree, too many unnecessary tool changes and a make do with a quick release for the router. Anyway it was nice to see someone saw what I did.
a) did you actually cut the ferrule tenon off ? b) is the shaft shorter now by the length of the new ferrule ? c) i wonder about the shavings getting in the auto feed steady rest wheels and either damaging the shaft finish or making shaft spin out of round d) the barring flush bit is proof the cue is not spinning true as the finish cuts are only engaging on parts of the spin and not uniformly all the way around. e) since you moved the ferrule back past the original spot & the shaft is tapered, the shaft is not flush past the flush bit cut. There will be a line felt there. f) needing 2 types of flush bits for the end of the cue where the tip glues, is excess and means the first is not necessary. There's just too much crap to unpack on this tool. Short version is this is a cheap, insufficient, under powered lathe that could never to any more than work a tip or ferrule and not near as good as many other lathes or diy drill turning inventions. But I can't see getting a lathe for cue repairs or cue work that you can't fixe joints, finishes, dings and any other issues that come up. I mean, you can get a tip replaced for $15.00 or less sometimes and a new ferrule replacement for $40. or so. That doesn't exactly make this lathe desirable !! These are just my thoughts and I don't mean to be offensive. Just spreading knowledge and things to think about for the guy that is seriously looking to make a decision about purchasing a cue lathe !!
Well I think he was showing that you can use it to replace a ferrule. And also cut a new tenon if you need to due to damage. Next time they need to pay someone to add English sub titles with some information on what is being done. But I would never let this machine near my cue.
@@dblgonzo ... yea, i'm w/ you there partner :) Ppl make toys like this to make money but they end up being a waste and could really damage your property !!
@@justinbryson352 if router bit is bottomed out and then you want to tighten it, there is no room for the bit to go down with the thread tightening. You wont get a good fit.
Many are commenting that $629 is too much and I agree but since this machine cannot hold or spin the shaft concentric to the axis and without wobble, I would argue that any price is too much because the machine produces poor results. Watching the chips wrap themselves around the rollers while I see the shaft wobble I can only cringe. The only right way is to collet chuck the shaft through the spindle, spin the shaft and turn the ferrule down to spec with a proper tool mounted hss or carbide cutter. This rotate the shaft at 1 rpm and shave the ferrule with a router bit, wobbly nonsense is just terrible. This is a perfect example of "just because you can doesn't mean you should!"
My only problem is I know what it would cost to produce this on that consumer level and I dont feel it's worth the price you are asking. If it was around $300 usd I might be interested

It wouldn't meet the professional standards of a repair lathe. But for a personal lathe where you just service your own cues every once in a while, I don't see a problem with that. Kinda like harbor freight tools. Good for at home but I wouldn't bring them to my day job.
@@nathansheffield2736 No doubt, except that I had a $600 lathe that I used, not only to change tips but I repaired tips, tenons, ferrules, and did wraps and more. Truth be told, the lathe is too limited. If it's just for changing tips, there are $200 lathes that, though rudimentary, will do a very nice job. The lathe is just too compromising and doesn't allow for versatility; a simple lathe should at least have the capabilities to allow you to do tips, ferrules, and tenons.
@@ctprocess , ....... , shoulda, coulda, woulda, .......... it's like saying, "I told you so". It doesn't solve the issue or inspire validation.

Too right mate tightening the chuck down on the ferrule even with a bit of tape made me cringe. Use a collet ffs and the build up of old ferrule shavings under the rollers. Maybe mk2 will be better as it is a good idea but needs a little more development.
Doesn't seem like it would last that long. So many moving parts and changing tools constantly. IDK. only worth $300 to me. But thats just me, I'm a tight ass anyways.
A pro player wouldn’t be very happy when you told them all of the sudden his cue is shortened after the repair. He played 20 years with that cue now his cue action will never be the same. Yes sir that little matters that much. Nice try though
Wow- holy shit!!! Couldn´t be more offcenter! 13mm are going in, 12mm coming out. There is really nothing lovely about this "machine". That ruins cues!!!

I caught ya i saw that tool coming loose i hate when that happens. I liked the video great work thanks for sharing.
Sorry, you shortened the length of the shaft because the tenon was too small for the ferrule. Next time cut your own ferrules to avoid having to cut into the shaft.
it looked to me like the shaft was splintered/cracked at the base of the ferrule, so cut out the defect.. probably a house cue since it was one piece.
all the ferrule slag made the cue spin off center too,,, a difficult way to skin this cat
not one piece,, too much time & ect it all seems backwards
@@exarcherbullsgap449 That was an old worthless Cobra cue. I am sure that he used that cue in order to make the video, and show what the lathe can do, because the shaft was worthless anyways.
All I can see is plastic on those wheels. Wouldn't that affect the trueness of the cue turning with little bits of plastic on the wheels?

That cutting tool is hanging so far from the motor bearing that you can see the cutter deflecting a bit. A 'tree' cutter may be much faster.
