Should I get a Shaftmaster???????

[runout1961]

Hello Everyone,

I was thinking of purchasing a shaftmaster portable cue lathe while I was at the Super Billiards Expo in March (www.shaftmaster.com). I have been looking at this for a while now. I was wondering if anyone has had any personal experience with this item. It looks like a pretty good deal especially since you can make your money back within a couple months. So I am requesting for all you pool enthusiasts to check out the site and let me know what you think. PLEASE!!!!!!

Thanks Everyone, John

Go to e-bay and build a lathe piece by piece if you're just doing tips. I built one for $57.00 and it works great. It just spins shafts for tip edging but does the job. I got my money back after 3 tip jobs.
