Dear AZers,

I am looking for a cue bulding lathe that can turn squares, plus do finish work. If anyone has one availble, please let me know? Also, looking for a portable unit to take on the road.

Sincerely,

Skip
 
Dear Trent,

I am located in Delaware.

I have worked with a Porper Model B and various Wood and metal lathes. Just looking to get my own equipment.


Sincerely,

i think for the money hightowers deluxe or a good porper would be a stronger more versatile lathe. just my opinion tho, not fact.


good luck

I agree with you Trent but I would also add a Taper Shapper. You do need a second lathe to put your pins and threads.
 
Quit now while you still have money.
You're gonna need at least two lathes as Guerra mentioned.

Unique Taper-Shaper and Porper Model B

Hi,
I have a Porper Model B w/ all upgrades and extras, bought new from the manufacturer, Creative Inventions. It is 2 yrs. old and used mainly for repairs and is a workhorse in the industry. I have $4600.00 in it with the options incl. rear 3 jaw Bison chuck. It will do everything incl. turn squares, tapering, v points.

The other, a Unique Taper-Shaper w/ all extras and upgrade tools, bits. It set me back $3600.00. and has 12 hrs. of use on it's router. I have been so busy w/ tournaments/ repairs that I no longer use these lathes much. The Taper-Shaper is still under warranty but I don't believe that is transferrable.

I use Unique Cue Companion repair lathe at all my tournament/ league repair sites, having bought it less than 4 mos ago.

My reason for selling the first 2 lathes (cue companion I'm keeping) is that I am going w/ heavier duty 13"x40" metal lathe for cue building and I am about to acquire a CNC lathe setup for points, tapering, etc.

I am in NE FL and can ship or you can pick up!

Hi,

Tony loves his Taper Shafter, it's a very accurate workhorse.

Watch out if he gets that Deco Revolving Multi Taper Bar Set up on his he will be in 7th heaven.:wave2:

Don't. It will ruin you. After JW blue, most of the others you will encounter will seem like junk. You will be hooked for the big $$$$ stuff.It is so much nicer than the red or black.

The bottles you see with yellow stuff is called cachaça, and it is bad s:

Cachaça is the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil. It is also known as aguardente, pinga, caninha and many other names. Cachaça is mostly produced in Brazil, where, according to 2007 figures, 1.5 billion litres (390 million gallons) are consumed annually, compared with 15 million litres (4.0 million gallons) outside the country. It is typically between 38% and 54% alcohol by volume. When it is homemade it can be as strong as the distiller wants. The major difference between cachaça and rum is that rum is usually made from molasses, a by-product from refineries that boil the cane juice to extract as much sugar crystal as possible, while cachaça is made from fresh sugarcane juice that is fermented and distilled.
