I will second the carbide Chris, The HSS cutters are nice but once you get rolling you can really start to bang out a ton of bodies fairly quickly. You will find yourself sharpening the HSS often. My dupe is a delta that I can not seem to find a carbide cutter for and I wind up by rotating 4 HSS heads in and out of service and then have to sharpen all at once. Not to mention every time you change the head you have to re-center the dupe and it takes a bit of time.
That being said I haven't even finished a plug this year yet. I have a hundred or so bodies turned just no time to finish them.
