Please excuse my ignorance, but how would a dowel cutter be used to prepare the cue for a ferrule being fitted?

I'm only joking with you. There doesn't seem to be any second-hand ones available at the moment.

Andrew from ADR has kindly offered to order a brand new one. I'm just waiting for the owner/manager of the local snooker club to make a decision.

I certainly don't fancy the idea of using a pipe cutter and Stanley knife. That might be a good option for a very rare on-off, but I've got quite a few to do. I have had experience of using a machine and it make the job fast and easy.

I'm doing them by hand at the mo and want an easier way to get them done as I've now got 4 to finish and 10 to make for a snooker club.

I missed getting one for around £50 on eBay and kicking myself now...
