After wanting a lathe for as long as I can remember, I found an Atlas 612 with the change gears, a 4 jaw chuck,Faceplate. dogs and centers, as well as a straight and left toolholder and bits. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a cutoff tool holder to fit this? Eventually I'd like to upgrade to a quick change tool post, but for now I'm using what I have. Also, can anyone suggest a good book on basic machine shop practices (layout, drilling, turning etc.) 40 or 50 years ago the local library had a bunch, now I need to refresh my memory, they aren't there. Thanks for any help you can give, John
