In addition to billiard cues, STL1516-2A can also make more cylinders.
A pool cue lathe is an automatic wooden stick turning tool kit used to make clubs for billiards, which works with a CNC controller and an automatic feeding system to achieve personalized customization for players and mass production of cues.
A wood lathe is capable of turning clubs of English pool cues and American pool cues, depending on the game you're playing. A lathe can turn playing cues, break cues, jump cues, jump-break cues, one-piece cues, house cues, snooker cues, carom cues, depending on the uses and applications.
A lathe is ideal for turning wooden pool sticks made of ash and maple, as well as pine, red ivory, ebony, rosewood, cocobolo, blackwood, olive wood, zircote and bocote.
Most snooker and pool cues range from 57 inches to 59 inches (1400mm to 1500mm) in length. The diameter of the club tip from 9mm to 10mm is the popular size, and pool cue shafts vary from 12mm to 14mm. A lathe typically turns cue sticks up to 1500mm in length and 160mm in diameter. However, for those special custom clubs, 2000mm, 2500mm and 3000mm are optional for the maximum turning length.
The average cost of owning a cue lathe is $7,180. An entry-level pool cue lathe starts at around $6,280, while a professional pool stick lathe with CNC controller is priced as high as $9,680.
This CNC lathe arrived in perfect condition. A well made machine with great quality control. All the parts are well built, tight and balanced. The bed frame is heavy duty with cast iron structure, which make it more stable to work. I have made some wood balusters and stair spindles. The variable speed works very well, and the automatic speed control system is easy to use, and no human intervention required. The results are fine and clean. Worth every penny. Great lathe machine for woodworking.
The lathe does a good job while it works. As a learning tool or for a carpenter turning wood bowl and spindle blanks it really is quite sufficient, or even safe.
