I didn't know what the boring bar was for but I guess it is for making fairly large holes in something, like bigger than drill bit size. I have one of those and a myriad of cutting tools but I need to figure out what the cutting tools are for. There is also what looks like cutting tool stock that needs ground to be turned into a tool which is awesome. There is one tool holder that looks like it goes on the part of the QCTP that is in the middle of the lathe. Then I have one with what I figure is a turning tool. There is also a knurling attachment for the QCTP which is awesome. I'm hoping my dad will come out this weekend because he knows what this stuff is and that's a lot faster than working my way through the book, although I'm still going to read everything I have. It has been many years since my dad used a lathe as far as I know.

Thanks for all the help in pointing out what things are, yes, I do know what most simple hand tools are I have been fixing my own vehicles since my first one, a 1978 VW Van. It is the lathe specific tools that I'm not sure what they are. Thank God for books and all the wonderful people that sent them to me!
