As I said I have just gotten this little small Grizzly lathe and lets face it it's a cheap product and doesn't offer a lot in convenient features so I wanted to do some improvements. First thing on the list is a quick change tool post Grizzly says they don't offer anything like that for that lathe and sent me to Little Machine Shop There I found something that might do what I want. We will see when it comes in. But now I need to find the right holders for the carbide inserts. Can anyone make a recommendation on some good all around 1/2" holders and tell me which inserts I need to get. Also some good HSS cutters would be nice too
I'm pretty much starting from scratch although I do have a pretty well equipped wood shop already but those are completely different tools Now I need to start buying all the things I'm going to be needing for this lathe i.e. Thread gauge, center drill, tap wrench following tool and a host of other things. Can anyone tell me or recommend a good starting list. Since this lathe is fairly sloppy even as new as it is, and since I don't as yet have a 4 jaw chuck, I'm not too concerned about getting a lot of indicators gauges right away
Any help would be appreciated
