    Lathe for fire polishing glass tubes

    I am interested in getting a lathe for mainly spinning glass tubes that I need to fire polish using a separate burner. Do I need a glass blowers lathe or can I make do with an "ordinary" lathe. Tubes would be 1 inch and under length between half inch and 1.5 inch.
