I've just about got my new (to me) old round top Student ship shape and Bristol fashion with a nice quick change tool post and some tooling from J&L.
I was wondering if a coolant pump would be a good idea, all the original stuff has long since gone from the lathe, so I'm contemplating buying a pump to fit into the tank and all the associated paraphernalia, or one of these self contained units like this one:

Good or bad? At the moment I'm using a paint brush and a jar of paraffin :-) I actually do very little turning so maybe it's just a waste of money....
Cheers Julian.
