Zagiflyer, Thats some great info there thanks. sometimes it seems as though there are a thousand and one things to buy to get started. I checked through the entire atlas website to get an idea of what is available and what is needed. I have a pretty good idea on what is needed for the main startup but some things I am unsure about. I would like to tell you guys what I have for tools and hopefully you can tell me what else I need:
Have:
Need:
I will be getting tips, ferrules(which come in way to many varieties btw), bumpers, joint screws, wraps, wood in many flavors (thanks Zagiflyer), and a whole boatload of other stuff I need I am sure in the coming months
Thanks again,
And Blud if you read this could you let me know what your cue building jet lathe runs for a price? probably out of my league but I'd hate not to ask and regret later.

Have:
- Tablesaw
- Drill press
- Bandsaw
- Wood lathe (hopefully convert to help out with cues)
- Horizontal Borer
- Mitre Saw
- Compressor
- 2 1/4hp router combo
- a variety of chisels/planes/drill bits etc..
- Shopvac
- Lots of unrelated construction equipment and stuff I can't remember right now because its 3am (graveyard shift)
Need:
- Dial calipers - are the atlas ones good enough, should I buy expensive ones?
- taps/dies - any help on what I should should buy here would be great, no clue
- linen press - available at atlas, do you need one of these to put on a wrap, or anything else to put on leather wrap (I think that leather wrap will be a big hit here, the few people that have them rave about them all the time)
- endmills - also available at atlas, do I need this?
I will be getting tips, ferrules(which come in way to many varieties btw), bumpers, joint screws, wraps, wood in many flavors (thanks Zagiflyer), and a whole boatload of other stuff I need I am sure in the coming months
