Interesting lathe on Ko Brothers video

[iusedtoberich]

Lathe starts at 3:07 and goes about 5 minutes. A nice looking machine, I have not seen this one before.

What's interesting?
It only shows it spinning a shaft.

This one doesn't have a tailstock or the chuck on the rear of the headstock.

Just the lathe itself. I haven’t seen that model before. Might be a Chinese or Taiwanese design. And interesting to see how the current manufacturing center of the world goes about designing a cue repair lathe.

It does have a tail stock, just that the unit is rotated 180 deg to give more room for the working of the tip. Very clever indeed. The tailstock looks to be travelled just like a carriage is done with a hand wheel. Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

Does not look like it has a lever for the tailstock . Looks like you have to feed it by hand .
Not any better than a TAIG lathe imo

Much worse than a Taig I think given there are limited options to expand or improve it. Taig is in AZ and will answer questions.

But still neat to see how other people build machines.
