Lathe wanted

[Soulcoma]

Looking for a fairly cheap lathe just so I can retip my own shafts so I can experiment with different tips without the long waits and hassle of having it done for me.

Bonus would be one I could use to do wraps as well. As I’d like to try out some different wrap materials. And well also cuz I get bored and like to change the look up.

Suggestions please.

Unfortunately cheap and cue making equipment never go together. There are a variety of haphazard rigs (drill attachments, etc) that I’ve have see people use to change tips. And of course many do it without a lathe with just a razor blade. But I recommend starting with Chris’s book and his machines:
