I recently bought a Willard tipping machine and the cue I bought it from threw in a couple other items he said he didn't need anymore. not sure what exactly these are and any info and values would be appreciated. I know the the one thing looks like a small lath type thing and is call a Q master, the other I'm not sure about only that it has something to do with ferrules.

I figured as much, but it was pretty funny drunk at 3:30 am :cool:
 
Your first pic is a Taylor tenon machine. It cuts a tenon on the shaft to accept a ferrule. We sold them for years. A new one runs $275.00 but I do not believe they are for sale anymore.

That was the tool to have in the 80's if you didn't have a lathe.
 
The Q Master lathe was a grinder motor situation that the guy made a mandrel for in order to polish, clean and tip shafts. The major downside was it turns about twice as fast as it needs to. It has plenty of limitations, but the guy did have some pretty interesting ideas he worked into it. The the other item called a Taylor machine will grind ferrules down even on warped cues. Pretty good for quick repairs on house cues but I would not touch a custom cue with one. I sold mine years ago.
