Shop Smith

Does this machine have any use in a cuemakers shop? I already have all the machines that this thing can be (Table Saw, Drill press, lathe(s)) etc.

I have one of these is my shop and I use the 12" sanding disc and the short table with it alot. Mostly for sharpening tools. Was thinking about standing it in the upright position and possibly using it as a mill for cutting points. Would'nt be that hard to make some sort of a jig to hold the forearm. Already has the table and a 5/8 slot for side movement. Otherwise I dont have alot of other uses. Takes up alot of space. For a basic woodworker, its wonderful except for setup time for each application. Kind of pricey too.
