I have read that the pocket lathes will put dings and scratches on your cue shaft?
Does anyone use the pocket lathe and what is your opinion about how it works?
(I have been thinking that I would like to have something a little more precise than placing the end of the butt of my cue on the floor and angling it so that I can roll it on the butt, while using last4ever tip tool to shape or maintain my tip.) This technique works ok for me but I am thinking I might get more uniform shape by using something else. Any ideas besides setting an appointment to seeing my tip repair guy? We don't have one at our pool room and while I don't mind having a tip installed professionally, I can't stand to have a tip repair guy to shape my tip or remove mushrooms, etc.
Thanks,
JoeyA
