You may well be right. My point was, there is no "right" tooling, except the one that is right for the job. One person might
think any lathe collet bigger than WW is a waste of time. Another might want only 5c collets, because they are so commonly
available in a range of prices and quantities. Someone else might be completly limited by a maximum size of 1 1/16. And so on
throughout the shop.

The machine and the tooling go together. There are benefits and limitations to each system. The better advice may be what used to
be said to computer buyers, pick the software (tool/workholding) that meets your needs, and then buy a machine to run it.
