  • This has got to be the best home made lathe I’ve ever seen great job
  • @robertstarz
    I would pay to get the rest of the stl models and parts list to make all this. Love the design.
  • @shaw9825
    Very impressive, i just tried to make one myself not nearly as nice as yours. I didn't even think to make a cross slide for cutting and shaping. but this gives me a lot of ideas. Thank you for sharing.

    Wow great work!! This is fantastic, I love the design too! I will be building this! I've been playing pool for about 3 years now and it's very hard to find someone to replace a pool cue tip in my area, the last guy I took my cue to the tip fell off during a tournament after a couple of games lol! After seeing your video it has motivated me to get into this! You should also consider developing another mount that holds the pool cue butt as well. I would love to learn how to re-condition a pool cue. I'm about to pull out my old 3D printer and get it up and running again so I can start building this. Once I get my 3D printer running I'll make the purchase for the Complete files list. Thanks for your hard work and sharing this design with us!

    Thank you for this, beautiful design! I have been designing a similar one and was skeptical about a 3D printed tool cross slide. Seems yours is rigid for this task. You have inspired me!

    thats not a bad little lathe ya got there. seems to have the proper adjustments and good RPM`S.... i would however add a steady bearing to the center of the shaft to eliminate the chatter and the blades you are using to shape yer tips, i would go to a blade that is only sharpened from one side. Your centering with the adjustable colletts and the dial indicator is bang on... very few cue repair guys use them or dont even know how to do that. It comes in really handy when someone wants a shaft repaired that is sanded or worn out of round... I`ve been doing repairs and making cues for 40 years on my own DIY lathe... 2 thumbs up from me!
  • @MigMonkey
    Just saw your collet video and now this one, I'd love to see more about building this lathe!
  • @MyMiniDroneLife
    Emilio, Very nice work! is it possible to get a parts list where you sourced the bed and lathe parts, I would like to build something similar.
  • @vincentbizon8841
    Great job and a creative solution! If I may offer you a bit of advice, the less overhang in front of the bearing the more rigid your setup will be and less runout to contend with. I really like your adjustable collet design, I may have to build one and try that out. Thanks for sharing.
  • @MrJabreu01
    Hola, Emilio!! muy buena tu idea. me preguntaba si tienes los STL de las demas piezas para imprimir el printer completo? muchas gracias por compartir con la comunidad.
  • @burakbollucuoglu
    congratulations, it works great. I would be very happy if you share your 3d work with us if you do not mind. good work.
  • @pmautong
    felicitaciones!! Excelente video... espero pronto ver el paso a paso de la construcción de esta máquina!!
  • @psychonoob9912
    Hi, can you please provide a link to download the bearing support ? I would be more than grateful 🙏
  • Is possible you said Where's have these parts to hold the cue and adjust with hex screws to sell? thanks
  • @moda6274
    hey Emilio greaat work man, Where can I buy the collet
  • @user-ew6tk8zt8w
    If you were to sell it, how much would it cost? I think it will sell
