Hi, I've trying to purchase a lathe in Australia before the end of the tax year (I only have 1 more day! ) so would appreciate some advice from my peers.
I have read so many of the old threads but a lot of them relate to products like grizly and harbour freight that aren't easily available in Australia (or shipping is very pricey!).
I saw that jet lathes are seen as slightly better than the Chinese models but I was wondering if this one would be adequate for basic cue repair/ cleaning and tips.

These SIEG ones are also available locally:
