Excellent advice!?

Here is a lathe starter kit for Atlas/Craftsman 6" lathes.?https://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=6364&category=2122081964

That'll give us a baseline price for a fairly complete starter kit. Here is a much more basic kit, also cheaper, that will fit any lathe with a MT2 taper tailstock, including the 10"&12" Atlas lathes, but without a tool post.?

Here are all the LMS tool post options. 4-way tool blocks range from about $23 to $55.
