Just picked this up the other day, my first real lathe for my workshop 1930s colchester master owned for the last 20 years by the same guy absolutely spot on fella and has really looked after it ,
It came with 2 face plates , a 4 jaw chuck, 3 jaw chuck , change wheels and a load of other spares.
Now I have a bit of tooling that I had kicking round but its mainly HSS home ground crap so I want to get some proper tools with probably the insert types but there is so many about im not sure what to get , I want something that will last me okay but also something that I am not going to spend an arm and a leg on its not something ill be using every day just a hobby thing really, what would you guys suggest ?
