What is the most important thing a turner needs to take with him when he

No not a bowl gouge or 6" face plate - I am looking for something a bit
deeper - come on folks - lets kick some life into this board!

I have some ideas on this, but I want to see if any of you all approach it

The term 'engine lathe' just refers to how the durned thing is driven (from
back in the days of steam engines and overhead leather belts powering an
entire factory) not what it is used for.
