Good enough for tip replacing and polishing butts and shafts?

Those wheels will leave marks in the finish. On the whole those "lathes" leads to more problems than they fix imo..
 
I was interested in getting one for tips changes, But I don't changes tips enough. So I'll guess I will stick with doing it by hand.
 
I have the drill based one. Works great for tip replacements and cleaning. You MUST wrap the part that will be in the wheels with a thick layer of low tack masking tape. probably 1/16" or so to protect the shaft. It will mess them up. They include a piece of clear tubing for this, but it just slides off and is worthless. Tape and common sense and they are a decent thing.

What if I replace the roller with this bearing, insert a plastic collet on the shaft and insert the shaft and collet into this bearing? The bearing has screws that you can use to center and tighten the collet to the shaft.
