I made some pretty nice turnings when I started out with absolutely crap for tools, carbon steel (factory delta) that would not hold an edge for more than a couple of cuts, spent more time sharpening than cutting, LOL. Biggest piece of advice I would give is that it's not the most expensive tools that make nice turnings, but the craftsman that uses them. Look at psi for good quality cheap tools to start with, they will teach you a lot, request a cataloge. A face plate, if the lathe didn't come with one. A calliper is nice to have also, so your not guessing at how thick something is. A skew, I use it mostly for flatening like a scraper, not for cutting like it's supposed to. Some people like a roughing gauge, but since I started using carbide for roughing it's the only way to go, virtually no catches, imo. For table legs a spindle gauge, but they cannot be used for bowls, they will catch. Let the journey begin.Ĭlick to expand.A 3/8" bowl gauge, parting tool, round nose scraper and the thicker the better. You have found a great starter that will teach you loads.

#DELTA LATHE DUPLICATOR 46 408 UPGRADE#
I have easily spent more on tooling than I did on my lathe and now I want to upgrade The lathe. Also get a face shield, mine has saved me more than once, $20 - $30 dollars at home depot. A chuck really opened up my turning possibilities. Nova chucks are probably the best bang for the buck and lots of jaws available that you can add as you go. Decent tools for not a lot of money are from psi, chinese but they are high speed steel and hold an edge, great to learn with. I will warn you though, it is very addicting! Wax the ways often to protect them from wet chips and finish. It's way to much fun! projects can go from start to finish very quickly, instant gratification. Biggest tip is good quality high speed or carbide tools and sharp, sharpening is a must to learn.
