Lathe wanted

BarenbruggeCues
One thing I've noticed is it will only go down to 11tpi for threads. Not a good deal for anyone cutting 10tpi for pins.
Don't have one but looks like it may have potential for a secondary lathe for odds and ends.
Don't believe it would work for a main set up.

As for as being a POS just because it's made in China can be a misconception because of bias.
I've purchased many things from China that are made as well or BETTER than things made anywhere else in the world.
You just need to do your due diligence before making any purchase. No matter where a product is made.
It's funny how some degrade overseas made products then jump on their horse and run to Home Depot, Lowes or Harbor Freight and make a purchase not understanding that 80 to 100 percent of stuff in those stores are made overseas.
Case in point, I have a friend who is on this buy American gig and when I walked into his house and had a quick look around.....you can imagine what I noticed. :rolleyes:

What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

The simple answer is no. U can TLDR the rest.

Players can learn to apply certain ideas or mechanical principles and arrive at their own particular style, but to try to copy the visual appearance of someone else's fully refined technique would be foolish.

This is actually a big problem with THE fundamentals too. People get caught up in the form and getting the look right, but they miss the function and the reason it looks that way. Most people fall inside a fairly narrow range and the prescribed right look will get them at least close to ideal. For some lucky folks, that exactly right look will have them locked in and their stroke dead repeatable and 'on rails'. Others will be just that few degrees off perfect for them and never attain that top level of consistency.

Those greats I mention above have "better" strokes because they are reliable and repeat over and over and can be trusted to do so under great pressure. This goes beyond mere mechanics, tho their mechanics are sound even if they don't match the cookie cutter textbooks. And even the textbooks barely ever touch on efficient force production, which at best is left to the subconscious. At worst, some recommend biceps. Want to guess how many of the 5 greats I listed power their stroke with their biceps? I'd wager a lot on zero.
