So, for a manual lathe who has found a tailpost turret to be really

I'd rather get a few more holders for the QC dovetail toolpost and forget
the tailstock. About the only cutting tool a tailpost is good for is really
heavy drilling. Otherwise, you can do it all on the toolpost. A DRO (or
CNC) helps in that matter for keeping track of the X position for each tool.
