Measuring, Layout, and Tooling

The amount of tooling required to do all of the normal operations is fairly astounding. When you add up the costs, it is easy to imagine spending more on tooling than the machine itself cost. It is for this reason that I limited myself to a smaller Asian lathe rather than spending more on a "professional" sized model.

That's a lot of tooling!
