Best Quick change for the Mini Lathe

@Ken Does this mean I have to buy a milling machine ;)

There is a rule in hobby machining that "Thou shalt not remain mill-less". You can be without a car because there are buses and trains. You can even be without hair because bald is beautiful nowadays. But to be a hobby machinist, you must have a mill and lathe. Being without one or the other is like trying to run a foot race with only one leg; you can do it but its a major handicap. ;)
 
I suspect this: 250-007T is what I need.

But at $80 AUD I might wait for ( below ) to arrive and try it, this was something I bought a while ago with a set of tools recommended ( somewhere ).

Paul_CPU,
Bummer, I guess the camera angle in the first picture created an illusion.
 
My new tooling arrived yesterday evening. Looking forward to trying it today. I would have more fun if I could get out and get some material to work with though!

Well I know I am way off topic here but..these new cutter are so good. It's so much cleaner cutting witht he parting bit and the actual tools cut so well. I am glad I bought those parts, best $150 I spent.

I think now I need a dial indicator. Any suggestions. I am thinking below might be a goer.

That looks good also. I'll have a think. I have a Mitutoyo micrometer and I like things the same.
