Anybody with a Porper mini lathe?

I have owned mine for about 3 months. I have made some awesome modifications, but am still having some problems. I cant figure out how to put a one piece house cue in it, and refinish the actuall shaft part. It's hard enough to even retip them, I have to keep the speed way down. Also my x, y, axis has some woble in it. Its hard to do accurate work, either facing of a ferrule, or cutting down the side of one. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Best thing to do IMO is mount the chuck all the way to the left on the bed. Buy a mini metal lathe for facing and changing ferrules. Use the Porper mini for putting tips on and cleanings, wraps etc. This is when practice with a razor blade comes in. If you want I can post a picture of what I have or at least give you a link to it.
