Not a cue maker, I simply do basic repairs and cleaning's, IE: Tips, Cleanings, Wraps, and the VERY seldom joint refacing. As such I have one of Todd's Mid America lathes right now that I perform these jobs on. Works great for its intended purpose. But I have the opportunity to pick up a 12" swing 36" between centers Atlas/Craftsman lathe for a bit of a steal.
Obviously I don't "Need" this lathe, but seriously what kinda man would I be if I only bought tools and equipment I "Need" :rotflmao1:
Anyway just wanted to see if any of you have used an Atlas lathe for any kind of cue work, if so what kind? and how was your experience as such?
