I have a new Laguna 18-36 on order. I thinking I will order the 20" bed extension. I don't plan to order the mobile base or the Laguna lights. I never had a "real" task light on my other lathe, but I want one for the new lathe. What is a good reasonably priced LED light? Should you have two?
Tool rest, I had 5 Robust for my other lathe (can't use because of post diameter); inside, outside bowl, J rest, 12" straight, 4" straight. This time I am thinking of getting the 15" straight instead of the 12" and not getting the J rest. I know Laguna 12" rest looks similar to the Robust, but it is not a Robust and don't plan on using it. I have heard the rod is not as hard as the Robust. Is the 15" too awkward and the 12" better fit for the lathe? Is the J rest a need?
Are there other accessories that are good to have?
