Maybe you could use this to extend the lathe
Mount the extra bed about a foot away and move your tailstock to it

I think I'm gonna order one of those and tinker around with some Ideas i have thanks

Both lathes have their place. If you are a newbe get a cue lathe, if you are a machinest get a real lathe. Simple. It is all in Chris Hightowers book, I kid you not.

Told you I have been busy. I even went brain dead on the name there for a minute. Thanks for correcting that. Mine will be able to cut 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 threads per inch. Possibly more. I think I will offer different thread sizes as options and not make them buy them all and allow people to pick what their first thread will be and buy parts for additional threads.

dear sir....

can I order this machine now? I can not wait...

I myself have a 13X36 Enco Bench type lathe, a 12X40 Jet engine lathe, a 14X54 National engine lathe, 2 Atlas 9X18 bench lathes, a 10X24 Atlas bench lathe and a 7X10 Central Machinery bench lathe. I also have 2 wood lathes and 2 saw type shaft machines.

" I thought you only produced 3-5 cues per year
just kidding... You have a very nice line-up of cue equipment
