>Hi, I just bought a Jet JWL-1442VSK lathe. I am mostly interested and turning bowls and boxes. I was wondering, if though this is vague, I was wondering what the complete package would be for turning this items, such as: Tools, accesories, chucks, paper, finish, anything that could help me on my way.

This reminds me of the $100 router bit set I bought 10 years ago. I'll bet I've used less then a quarter of those bits while I purchased many dozens of bits since, each one at a time as the need arose.
I'll bet this would goes for lathe tools also.

Head over to my web site and look around. It will give some insight into turning a bowl and what tools might be helpful.
