The bad news about turning is that the list of useful tools and accessories goes on for a mile. I started off with a $300 investment for a small lathe and inexpensive set of turning tools. That quickly blossomed to probably close to $1,000 once I started adding things I “couldn’t do without”, like a good chuck system, 8” variable speed grinder for sharpening, a sharpening jig, etc.

I’ll also tell you that the Easy Rougher Mini and Easy Finisher Mini have been a great investment.
