What are the first two accessories I should get now that I have a
lathe. I'm on a quest today. Off to see the wizard...no , off to find
a mt2 arbor for a Jacobs chuck.

Hi Matt,
What do you intend to do with your lathe? Although it is impractical to run out and buy tooling only when you find that you need it, until you actually plan a project or job, you could be spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on things you may never use or not use for quite some time.
So, the first thing to do is decide on a project. Then, plan the project and get the tooling/accessories needed to complete it.

Hope this helps.

- Charlie

Matt,

Looks like you will soon have the first one, a tailstock drill chuck.
What to get next depends on what sort of work you are undertaking, I
would consider a faceplate or steadyrest.

Matt,
I pretty much bought all of the accessories that HF sells for my little lathe. Which is only five or six items. I may buy a quick change head in the near future, but some things I actually worked projects up to learn how these accessories worked.

4 jaw chuck, dial indicator (with base, frequently sold as a
package, counted as one item for answer purposes.)
