12" Stainless Steel Lathe Tool Rest for Woodworking Wood Turning Lathe Turning Tool Rest, 5/8" Diameter Post

price was right very good quality I really like how wide the hand guide is make turning bowels alot easier.

As a beginning woodturner I am learning how to properly use the tools, so you can expect that I have had several occasions where I have had catches and tools chattering on the rest. None of these ( which a couple were fairly brutal) resulted in any deformation or damage to the contact surface of the rest. Product was nice and straight, with a nice smooth finish that allows me to glide my hand along it with out any friction or catches. Would absolutely recommend for someone one a budget and to upgrade from the paperweights that tend to be packaged with inexpensive mini lathes.

very good bowl and shallow canister tool rest.

I've been using a similar 12" tool rest (from Rockler) for a few years and really enjoy how smooth my tools glide along these types of rest rather than the cast iron ones that are provided with most lathes. Needed a 6" tool rest for making pens, 12" tool rest was too long to fit between head and tailstock.

Well built tool rest for a great price. Half the price of other rests I have purchased. The hard steel top bar should resist dents and nicks throughout its lifetime of use. And with a large lathe like my Laguna 24/36, a true 1" post tool rest is hard to come by. They have recently changed the spec on their 1" tool rests to be a true 1" post (25.4mm in the metric world). So, I am very pleased with its locking function.Those of you with larger lathes like Robust , Powermatic, Oneway, and Laguna, the new 1" tool rest should fit.

Seems solidly made, unfortunately the post is just a mm or so undersized, so won’t fit my Laguna lathe. I bought a different shaped tool rest from the same product listing, and the shaft fits my lathe fine. Manufacturer seems to have a consistency issue.

12”w, 1”post 3” tall. I was surprised at the overall small size of this. The round edge is about 3/16” diameter, and the curved steel that supports it is about 1/8” thick, and 1-3/4” tall.If you’re imagining that this will compare with a tool rest like you saw on a good quality lathe, you will probably be disappointed.The post was a little short for my Record Herald, although I might have been able to use it. Returned without using.

Bought for my Delta MIDI wood lathe. This lathe can turn ~6” diameter x 36” with the bed expansion. I generally turn up to 14” long pieces. The lathe came with the standard 4” rest, so this upgrade is perfect!!

bonne qualité
