or the other 1200ish brushes are any good.
You can certainly turn a good brush between centers. A thin kerf parting tool and some practice is all it takes but I spend 20 or more hours a week in front of a lathe. If you are doing inserts or in-line boring you certainly need a 4 jaw chuck but for a basic starter setup it is not needed but to each his own.
A hepa filter for a shop vac is not your average shop vac but if you turn a few thousand parts a year plus cabinets, tables, etc... replacing the hepa filter bags will rack up more than enough cost in a year to purchase a good canister dust collector. I also run a ceiling mounted 2 micron air filtration system. If you expand in the future you will need a lot more CFM for collection than a shop vac can muster but as I said, that is overkill if the only thing you are going to do is suck dust from a lathe and only turn one or two parts a month. The point is you need a fine micron filter for exotic woods. I know more than a few people that spent time in ICU after breathing dust. I would suggest anyone wanting to work exotic or even domestic wood read up on the
wood toxicity, just google it and there are pages of information. I know folks that wont even turn some woods without a full Tyvek suit because of the reaction induced by some of the exotic woods.
That aside, I would love to know where you are getting carbide lathe tools. The only carbide tools I have seen are small hollow form tools and they have been as expensive or more so than a HSS. You can get good cry treated Pinnacle tool but they are no less expensive, often more expensive than a Sorby
