Get a starter set from either Gunline or Dembart. I prefer gunline. It will give you everything that you need to be able to checker in one particular LPI. 20 lines per inch is a good one to start with and use going forward, but if you want coarser, 18 or 16 may be the ticket. Finer makes it "harder" to space the lines, but you dont have to cut as deep to point the diamonds up.
The starter sets from either manufacturer run in the $50-$75 range. Sometimes you can pick them up on Ebay for a good price.
