Long slender stock wants to flex away from the tool, which is why this machine carries a rotary follow rest that travels with the cut and supports the wood right where it is being turned, plus a pneumatic tailstock that clamps with the same pressure every time. The cast iron bed does the rest, absorbing vibration so a thin shaft does not chatter. That combination is what turns a taper the same way on the first cue and the hundredth, which no hand-fed method can promise. ### Two Spindles, Two Halves Twin spindles are more than a speed trick for a cue maker. A cue is made of two turned parts, a shaft and a butt, so the pair of spindles lets you cut both halves of the same cue in one cycle, or two identical shafts for matched pairs. Either way, both sides come off the machine under the same conditions, which keeps a set consistent. The habit that matters is simple: never run a cycle with one spindle empty, since the machine takes the same time either way. If your order book grows past two at a time, a [multi-spindle copy lathe](https://www.stylecnc.com/wood-lathe/3-axis-wood-turning-lathe-machine.html "multi-spindle copy lathe") carries more blanks in the same frame. ### Where the Lathe Stops and the Bench Begins Honest scope helps a new cue maker plan. This lathe turns the wooden parts of a cue and, with the optional carving spindle, cuts names, logos, and text into them. It does not thread joint pins, install ferrules and tips, fit wraps, or lay in decorative points and inlays; those remain bench work with hand tools and a small metal lathe. Think of the machine as producing perfectly repeatable blanks that your finishing skills turn into a saleable cue. Design files come from ordinary [CAD/CAM software](https://www.stylecnc.com/cnc-software/cad-cam-software.html "CAD/CAM software") over USB, and this [operation guide](https://www.stylecnc.com/cnc-solutions/CNC-wood-lathe-turning-operation.html "operation guide") covers siting, running, and caring for the machine. What the machine makes, and what you make: | Cue Stage | Done On This Lathe | Done At the Bench | | ---------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------- | | Shaft taper | Yes, turned to profile | Final sanding and sealing | | Butt and forearm | Yes, turned to profile | Wrap and finish | | Names and logos | Yes, with the carving spindle | Inlay work by hand | | Joint and pin | No | Threading and fitting | Cue turning checklist: ✓ Season blanks fully before turning slender tapers. ✓ Load both spindles to keep the cycle paying. ✓ Let the follow rest carry the middle of the cue. ✓ Save one program per cue model you sell. ✓ Add the carving spindle if you brand your cues. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### What is a pool cue lathe? 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. #### What types of clubs can a wood lathe turn? 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. #### Which woods of billiard cues can be turned with a lathe? 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. #### What length and diameter of cue sticks can a lathe turn? 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. #### How much does a pool stick lathe cost? 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. #### Does it produce a finished, playable cue? It turns the wooden shaft and butt to your exact profile, which is the hard part. Joint pins, ferrules, tips, wraps, and inlays are still fitted at the bench, so the lathe supplies repeatable turned parts rather than a complete cue. #### What does the rotary follow rest actually do? It supports the workpiece close to the cutting tool and moves along with it. Without that support, a long slender cue would bow away from the blade and the taper would come out uneven, so the follow rest is what makes thin work accurate. #### Do both spindles have to run the same profile? They run the same program, so plan them as a pair: two matching shafts, or a shaft and butt cut in the same cycle. For genuinely different profiles, run them as separate jobs one after the other. #### Can it carve names and logos onto a cue? Yes, with the optional carving and grooving spindle, which cuts text, brands, and patterns into the turned piece. For heavier carving and tool changes across a range of work, an [ATC wood lathe](https://www.stylecnc.com/wood-lathe/atc-cnc-wood-lathe.html "ATC wood lathe") goes further. #### Which options are worth taking? The four-jaw chuck linkage helps with irregular blanks, the vacuum cleaner keeps fine dust off the ways, and the variable spindle control lets you slow down for dense exotics. Take the dust extraction first; it protects the machine daily. #### What if I also want grooving, sanding, and milling? Those live on the multi-process machines. A [7-in-1 turning and milling center](https://www.stylecnc.com/wood-lathe/7-in-1-cnc-wood-turning-milling-center.html "7-in-1 turning and milling center") combines turning with several finishing operations, which suits a shop making varied products rather than cues alone. ![Twin-Spindle CNC Lathe Machine for Wooden Pool Cues Making]() **Customers Say** \- Don't take our words as everything.
