I use the Integy Eagle Racing Truecut #C22306 with a Hudy carbide bit. I had to grind the mounting tab thinner with a dremel to fit the truer's tool holder, but it cuts every bit as good as a Hudy truer. It's just a light weight manual portable you won't mind taking with you, which suits me fine. You will still need to purchase an arbor, but you would with any other truer, too. The lathe comes with a couple of cutters that will last quite a while, just when it's time to get more cutters, don't hesitate to get the hudy carbide, it will be the last you ever get. It will take all the standard sized arbors, too.
