which is the 36" model.. or should I get the 40" model.
thanks for the advice.. I know..its better to get a cuemaking lathe. but I have the tools (milling machine) and other tool to make all the tooling I need. I just want to make sure I get a long enough lathe. yes.. I plan on making cues. thanks for the advise

40 is better b/c you have more room when working on the ends of the shafts and butts .

I have this exact lathe in 36" and it's a sweet piece of machinery. Joey is right in his stating that the more room the better.

Definately the 40....more is better in this case.
