This ebay seller has the most complete listing of accessories for the

Thanks. *Since hope springs ever eternal I continue to daydream that I
will pick up the lathe in my arms and need a forklift to load the
accessories. *As soon as reality sticks its ugly beak into my fantasy
I will definitely be searching for accessories.

Unka' George. Your link was inspiring. My son Mark inherited his
mechanical genius from his mom. Seriously. I have made inquiries to
get them into a manual machining course come next January at a
community college on the outskirts of Houston. I can hardly wait to
see them start down this fascinating path to discovery. V
