Look at this set up on ebay

[bnall]

I came across this contraption on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Built-Po...oryZ1292QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Would a Willards Tipping Machine work with something like this? I thought it was intended to be used by hand only. Seems like everyone is trying to make a repair lathes these days.

It might be a good deal considering the cost of the willards tip tool alone. To me another innovative idea.

It is a nice homemade shaft spinner with a Williards tip machine. If the bids don't go up a lot from where they are now, it will be a very good deal for someone who just wants to take care of his own shafts and is not in a hurry. I would think it would be a little too slow for my liking to work tournaments, but it could be done. You just wouldn't make as much $$ per hour while you were there.

kind of a nifty little gizmo. i don't much care for the obviously under powered motor though. but the guy made it in a nice box.
