Being new to turning im still very green in the what is needed to do certain jobs dept. I am curently turning my pens with a pen mandrel, but fell like im ready to move beyond it now. My question is what will I need to start to turn on centers? Ive been looking at Live Tailstock Center w/ 60 deg point - #2MT, but am not sure what is needed for the headstock. I dont have a big lathe its just a tabletop HF that is getting me by till I figure out what ill want and need in the future. So what tools I do have or get. I would like for them to be able to be used with a new lathe. I cant be retooling if you know what I mean. If someone could lead me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
