Howdy folks. I have an idea bouncing around in my head (dangerous), and I don't have the knowledge to implement it. So I'd appreciate any input.
I play pool quite a bit, a pool table has taken over my shop, in fact I have to roll my BT3 out of the way each time I go to shoot. There are a couple maintenance tasks that are necessary and basic, but I am finding them hard to properly do by hand. It is important for a pool cue shaft to remain very smooth to play the game at a higher level. Also tips need to be replaced from time to time.
Both these tasks are made much simpler by the use of a cue lathe. These lathes run $500-$700 for a maintenance lathe (what I'm trying to cheap), to thousands for a lathe to build a full cue.
I want a simple lathe to simply spin the shaft to facilitate cleaning and sealing as well as making tip replacement far easier. There are cue repairmen that can be found, however it can run $25 for a tip, and double that for a cleaning and tip and higher. Plus the time it takes to finish the cue during which I am unable to play.
WHEW! Sorry for the lead in. Here are a few examples of motors and 'stabilizers' (the bering thing) of what I would like to do. I need ideas on how to attach the drill chuck to the pulley, or like the one with the direct motor. Also what type of bering is that that these guys are using? Thanks for any input.
