I’ve had a Mid Size Cuesmith for over a decade now. If all you want to do is the basic things, this lathe will work. I’ve replaced the on-off switch, but that’s it. Chris will give you tips on how to reduce runout if necessary. Other than that, be prepared to spend money on tools and accessories. The best thing, not having to spend 40-45 dollars every time you want a new tip, or over $50 if you need a new ferrule. Best of luck with your new equipment.This is what I think would fit your need.
