Taig Micro Lathe II

[Kim Bye]

Can the Taig micro lathe be used for retipping cues on a hobby basis?
The Willard tipping tool costs $500 and looks fairly ok, but for that price i can get a Taig micro lathe and if I can use that for retipping cues (shafts only, not house cues) I would rather choos that option as a lathe gives me more options (burnishing, cleaning shafts, changing ferrules etc..)
