Have to include those? What if you already had chain/band sander? Those
would kick it up close to _ another _ two grand in acquisition cost. Hate
to consider replacement, because it's well-said that "they don't make 'em
like they used to."

Of course you don't have to buy a chain saw, band saw or sander if your
turning interests don't require such tools. That's another reason to
start small and work your way up to the tools you need as your interests
develop. Also, how do you know the size of the tools to buy if you have
no turning experience or direction developed yet?

But then again, the OP may have bottom-less pocketses.
