My DIY cue lathe in action.

[@stevenjurasin6308]

This has got to be the best home made lathe I’ve ever seen great job

[@jacquescote9605]

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!

[@emilioarroyomohamed]

I was going to build a center support with a couple of skateboard wheels but i never did it. Now i only use carbide tooling for the tips, you can see the attachment at the center-low of the video at the beginning. For some reason they dont come really sharpened, i have to sharpen them myself. I will show the attachments in a video. Thank you for your feedback.

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.

[@emilioarroyomohamed]

You are welcome.

[@PollaraAuto]

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!

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.

Thx, i am working on it

[@deadlyhighland1124]

Do you do commission work?

[@emilioarroyomohamed]

No i am sorry

[@allenhammond6172]

Very nice! Do you have any issues with leaving marks on the shaft when you are tightening it down with the set screws?

[@emilioarroyomohamed]

No, the tightening forces are very small and the inside of the collet is tapered to match the profile of the shaft so the lip inside the collet makes a lot of surface contact with it. Ofc after 3d printing it you have to make sure there is not bumps inside and sand off any irregularity if there is any. In doubt one can always put a piece of paper or vynil tape and choose a collet size a bit bigger.

just curious of the shaft deflection when cutting off the tip. is that normal?

Yes when using a cutter blade to cut chunks of the old tip it will happen because much force is needed and the shaft is quite flexible. It would have been better to chop before the old tip as much as possible before working on it on the lathe.

Neat, but I strongly suggest that you make a proper holder for your razor blade. If you were to get a catch on the work that blade can pivot in many different ways- most of them bad for your health. I have done woodworking lathe work for over 40 yrs and a few decades of that working on whippy work like pool cues, and have had many close calls. Work safe!

That is one bouncy lathe when cutting the tip, not a very accurate razor placing. While it may look nice, I wouldn't risk that razor snapping and flying into my face or damaging a cue with the very wabbly plastic printed collet with plastic jaw design. Looks nice, may be a cheap DIY for your own quick tip replacement but not for woodworking or more precise work.. You can buy a good quality lathe through temu for a few hundred more and without needing to get a 3d printer for making plastic parts. Very creative, points for that.
