Why only Toxic dust respirator? Why not the Multipurpose to deal with paint fumes too?

If you're going with the Sorbys, I'd get just three tools - 3/4" roughing gouge, 1/4" parting tool, and 3/4" skew. I recommend the 1/4" parting tool because if you went any narrower you might have trouble fitting your measuring calipers into the groove.

The 5-piece mini set is handy to have and a very good value, but certainly not essential. I only use the toxic dust respirator because I spend very little time around paint fumes. I only do a couple plugs at a time. I spray them quickly with rattle cans, then leave the room.

Look at Penn State Industries (PSI). They have some real nice "cheaper" chisels for your lathe. They also sell teh other gear you need.
