I recommend learning to grind your own tools. You
will find that you can grind many specially shaped
tools to solve all kinds of problems. It's not hard -
just buy about 20 blanks and dive in. Here are some
links that may help:

Hi gang!
I've been playing,er, working with the lathe and
learning a
lot....now fer some info.
1- What type of tool is best for what job?
considerations: cost, main material is plastic
(PVC), some metal
involved to keep if interesting.
is there a general purpose tool for most use?
HSS or carbide....pre-made or grind my own?
2-Is there a way to hold square or odd pieces in a
3-jaw chuck?
3- Is there a good book to learn these things
from...i.e. 'Metal
Lathes for dummies"
4- Suggestion for a good 1st time real project,
thats easy!
Thanks , Matt
