Hi Guys,

Here's a lathe that I helped setup for my friend who now don't have time to play with. This lathe is setup in a pool room and has done hundreds of repairs and build a few cues. It's one of Hightower large bore headstock and my friend got a brand new mounted motor for about $350.00. The lathe setup come with everything you need to get started on repair and cue building. The lathe is mounted on top of a nice cabinet with stainless steel counter top. The cabinet was designed so that you can lock everything up in the cabinet. It's a very nice setup if you need to have it open space at tournaments for repair. He used to have this lathe setup at Master Billiards until they closed down. I've helped him repairs and have done a lot of conversion work with this lathe.

There are too many things to list.

He has tons of tools bit, tips, router so you can taper the old style by off setting the tail stock. All the basic accessories, collect, live center, taps for 3/8-10, Radial, 3/8-11, 5/16-14, 5/16-18, maintenance kits for almost all type of joints, ferrule, tips, phenolic for joint and butt, etc. I will try to get pics of the little item. Just lots of little extra, that really adds up.

He's looking for 2K (Firm)for the entire setup. Local pick up only!!

Here's the pics:

Hi Guys,

The motor is a variable speed. I think my friend lost the cap for the switch should be easily replace. Not really sure how the motor work but it not mounted like the deluxe lathe.

A few people asked about the mounting of the motor and how the unit lock up. I took some more pics to show below:

This lathe has the deluxe headstock and a router that you can taper blanks with but no taper bar. I've must have built 50 plus conversion cues on this this lathe. I think he has the auto feed with this lathe as well.

Is this just a repair lathe? I've noticed no taper bar, auto feed etc.
 
Had an offer but still haven't heard back yet from the gentleman. So it still for sales until the until confirmation is received.
 
Hi,

I think he prefer to sell to someone local or close by but it doesn't hurt to make an offer keeping in mind the shipping cost. The lathe alone should be 70 plus and the accessories may be costly to ship depending on the service.

Duc.


How much for the lathe, and accessories shipped, without the stand/shelf?

Lathe is still available...lots of interested and potential deals that fell through. Market is rough for everyone right now I guess.
 
Thanks for the offer :) Price is firm at 2K now.

Just so guy know, this Deluxe headstock is adjustable since it on a 48" bed instead of the standard 60" bed that the deluxe normally come with.

Regards,
Duc.

Hello,

I'd consider it for, sadly, a low price. $500.00 cash for all of the lathe
