Or, would I be better off just getting some indexable 3/8" cutting tools and not bother with the tool holder. I'm looking at the 5 piece 3/8" set that Littlemachineshop has for about $33. I also got a quickchange tool post with the lathe that will accept the 3/8" cutter bits. Thanks for your time

You know you can buy HSS, and its the right size already, although may need to shim it up depending upon your grinding skills.
