first lathe?
 

hey everyone im looking to get into plug building and was wondering what you guys thought of this lathe,

Delta LA200 Shopmaster 10-Inch Swing by 14-1/2-Inch between Centers 1/2 Horsepower Benchtop Mini Woodworking Lathe, 120-Volt 1 Phase

its going for 159 on amazon,anyone have it?hows it workin?
thanks.

Very good machine. A bunch of guys use that lathe with great results.
If you can get it for that price what else is there? except maybe free shipping.
Buy it.

also what kind of turning tools do you suggest getting,something for all around use

The most widely used chisels are;
1" skew
3/4" roughing gouge
3/16" diamond parting tool

Don't have the lathe, so I can't really comment on that. Tools, get decent ones. I use a 3/4 inch gouge and a 1 inch skew, both Sorby. All I ever needed to turn plugs.
