If you are going to mount in a drill chuck I would think it wouldnt matter the diameter. How would you get air through the end of the shank in a drill chuck?
Nice work. I also liked building different things for cue work. I noticed the motor is kinda small,any plans to upgrade yet. Or does this just look small from the pics
Couple hundred for a minilathe or a couple thou for a cuelathe. I was lucky to be able to make what i needed from stuff they threw out at work so it didnt cost me much
Just tips..Probably minilathe or basic lathe kit from taig with .590 headstock if you are a little mechanically inclined. Hardest part is making some type of steady rest for back of cue
