I'm still searching for a stand alone tipping tool other than the Big Shaver and the Willard tool in Muellers. Possibly from the 50's or 60's. I've seen a few used in a couple places but don't have a manufacturer to look for. Don

What don't you like about the Big Shaver?

I don't like how the shaft is held by the plastic screw. It leaves marks on the ferrule.If you loosen the screw you have to angle the shaft to get blade to bite and then you get marks on the shaft.
 
Repair lathes

If you check the posts here on AZ....I think you will find a picture of a lathe which is available from time to time on EBAY that uses the headstock similar to a Hightower for around $400 to $500.

Happy Holdidays,

You can buy a 7x10 mini lathe and with a few inexpensive modifiactions you will have a very accurate lathe that will do tips ferrules and shaft claening for well under $500.00. I have one and have seen several pics here from others who use one. I have a cue companion also but love my 7x10

Go directly to taig and buy this little lathe. It's the same as Hightower's, with the exception of the spindle bore, being the smalller one.
These guys selling these on ebay are proof that people will buy anything without shopping around. This little repair lathe sells at Taig for $189 and is just what will work for you for tips and ferrules. Tiag.com i beleive. there is one gentleman that's the dealer for Taig, but taig will sell to you directly.
