After we pay some other bills I will have 400ish bucks from my bonus to do whatever I want with. I've more or less decided to get myself set up for turning. I will be bringing the lathe over from my Dad's house.
I am planning on getting this:

Wanted some recommendations on a decent set of starter tools, or if I decide to buy separately, which ones? I am looking for something in between Sorbys and the 9.00 HF special. Ideally I have enough left over after the tools to get calipers, etc. I am planning on turning both spindles and bowls and eventually pens.
Something like this?

If I were to get something like this, what would I do with them? Would just getting HSS tools be better?
