|Good choice for a small lathe you will be suprised how acurate you can be with it.
As you will see when you look at Deans website and others it is easy to make bits for it /modify bits ect.
IMHO the first thing is to get a length of 1" ally bar and start to make tool posts iv'e now have about 12 with diferent tools as they are so quick to change.
As to using a dial ind, i have this fitted to the 't' slots on the head
Which can be swiveled around as needs be
Another thing i made and use often is this wigler!
And a quick look at my leadscrew adaption
Like you i have limited space but it realy keeps me happy and with help from everybody on this site i'm improving all the time.
Any questions just ask

Your gonna want the 3 jaw chuck with soft jaws for the Taig. The soft jaws ability to be fitted to a part give even me the ability to fab a part somewhat close to what was intended.

I thought that's what that square thing on the left was.
Congratulations on your new baby.

I'd rather that be a last resort. I have an embarrassingly large amount of money tied up in that silly little box. :loco:
Hobby-Machinist:
Congratulations on the new machine and on making something useful right off. You may want to mount some handles on the mounting board to allow you to easily pick it up for moving, perhaps also some rubber feet.
Enjoy it!
