The 250-000 toolpost is ideal for these mini lathes. The toolholders are cheaper, too.I'll have to find suitable tool holders for it , that brings into question cost

...two rails of Unistrut with little trolleys running in them with bearings...
I'm not going down the rabbit hole on this one

You could of course make a tool post quite easily once youve bought a mill!research states the 250-111 is suitable for a 6" - 12" lathe , I presuming they mean the chuck . And I've no idea what size/ no. tool holder I'd need for it . It's just another minefield I'm entering
I got this set for my little hobbymat a while back - > https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/36422768...uid=jcVqn-0RTd-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Pretty sure the seller makes them based in Mountain Ash Wales - £150 but well made and a good amount of tool holders.

That Banggood price is incredible
Any recommendations for place to learn if you don’t have anyone near that knows how?Looks like your now a lathist…….buy some tool steel blanks, and learn how to grind them, cheapest option. That machine wont work hard enough to get the benefit out of tipped tools, though tipped do save you needing to learn to grind up tool steel.
See if there are any model engineers clubs near you..?Any recommendations for place to learn if you don’t have anyone near that knows how?
Youtube. @doubleboost did a whole series on lathe basics.Any recommendations for place to learn if you don’t have anyone near that knows how?
