The Sherline Split Bed Pool-Cue Lathe 24″ Index Bed is a specialized tool designed for custom pool cue manufacturers, offering a cost-effective solution for adjusting the distance between the headstock and tailstock. This flexibility is achieved without the need for a custom extended lathe bed, making it an economical choice for those who require precision in crafting pool cues. Unlike traditional lathes, this model functions as a motorized turning axis that can be mounted onto a CNC router, providing enhanced versatility for cue makers.

The split-bed design allows the headstock attachment bed to be mounted directly onto a CNC router table, while the tailstock attachment bed can be positioned at a variable distance to accommodate different cue lengths. Both the headstock and tailstock beds are meticulously ground to the same thickness, ensuring alignment and precision during operation. This setup is particularly beneficial for turning two-piece pool cue sections, which are typically uniform in length.

The lathe includes a 2.5-inch, 3-jaw chuck on the headstock, providing a secure grip on the stock being turned. The tailstock assembly features a Pool Cue Live Center, which works in conjunction with either a Spur Driver or the chuck to hold the stock firmly in place. This configuration allows for precise and efficient turning, essential for producing high-quality pool cues.

Note: Ensure proper alignment of the headstock and tailstock beds on the CNC router table to maintain accuracy and safety during operation.
