I appreciate everyone outlining their different levels of shop setup. In my lathe research I came across some mini metal lathes that I thought would working for cutting & making ferrules, joints, and buttcaps. One such model that I found pottentialy interesting for that function is a Bolton Hardware 5" x 7" Mini Combo Lathe/Mill/Drill. Anyone have any thoughts on that kind of lathe for what I would considering using it for?
When I eventually get setup I was also thinking of a small lathe that would be used to make custom pens that would match custom cue design models that I would offer.
