Just starting out with a mini lathe and a couple of tools received as gifts. Learned some spindle work and bowl work but would like to buy a chuck. Most are too expensive so advice is needed. Nova has a mini with tommy bars that is affordable but fellow turners say that Oneway key chucks are the only way to go. Other option is low cost full sets from China. Question is the advisability to buy a tommy bar vs key chuck. Thanks.
