Does the ER collet mark the cue?

Yes, need to use a thin rubber strip, then all is good.

You may want to consider a cue lathe (Cueman makes good ones). No modifications needed; ready to install tips, ferrules and clean cues. I’ve even finished CF tubes with mine. Best of luck with whichever route you go.

Cueman's lathes are the best. 100%excellent quality and customer service. Buy the best you can afford. By what fits your needs, Take care of it and it'll last for ever.
Also take a look at MidAmerica's stuff.

If I just wanted to install new cue tips for people, what lathe would y'all suggest?
I don't want to make cues, just help out people in our league that can't find someone to install new tips.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I started out with a Porper repair lathe, they come with everything you will need included in the price.

Depends on the collets you use and where you use them. If it on a regular playing shaft, it's fine. If it's in a carom shaft with a parabolic taper you need to use a Delrin collet or something similar.
I use a set-tru ER40 collet for shaft work and even joint pin work and it's incredibly accurate and very user friendly.
