Hello,
I've been doing cue repair for a few years now (and have build 3 cues) using a small Taig based lathe i purchased here on this site. I'm now thinking about getting a full size lathe. Here are two i'm looking at from Grizzly:
http://www.grizzly.com/products/12-x-36-Gunsmith-s-Lathe-with-Stand/G4003G
http://www.grizzly.com/products/12-x-36-Gear-Head-Cam-Lock-Spindle-Gap-Bed-Lathe/G4003
They look very similar to me, so i'm asking you folks for advise on the two. Is the first one worth the extra $$ ?
Thanks for the advise.
I've been looking on craigslist for sometime now and have yet to find a nice machine in my area, so new might be the way i go.
