The lathe came with a four-position tool holder, but it doesn't look appropriate for holding boring bars, and only a fairly small cutoff tool holder can be used. I may need to replace the entire tool holder.Ah tooling.For the lathe, - Quick change tool holder. Get the boring bar holder and cut off holder as well as the rest.
A combination live center and a 1/2" tailstock chuck were my first two purchases.- live centers, one small with extra long nose. One fat extra strong. Bull center for turning pipe.
- Morse taper drills for all over 1/2"
Yes.
I never really understood the big deal about collets. I guess I don't do enough work on small, fixed diameter stock. On the rare occasion that I need something small spinning really really true, I just take the time with the 4-jaw chuck.- Collet chuck and set of collets.
I ordered a set of helix carbide end mills, but they aren't serrated. I am hoping that I can do decent aluminum work without coolant, just to keep the mess down.For the Mill, High helix serrated carbide end mills. They remove aluminum faster than is really decent!
