Well I've been waning a good solid tool rest but could never find one with a 30MM post. I was given lots of suggestions on the board but decided the best route would be to get them custom made. I still have a few kinks to work out on the inside tool rest but I think the are every bit as good as the ones you can buy online. I even had them take it a step further and add a bit of extra support in hopes of getting rid of any vibration at the end of the rest. they still need some paint but but I'll get around to that someday not too big of an issue right now. I hope they hold up. :-)
The inside tool rest in 12" long and is 1/4" thick by 2" wide
The outside tool rest is 14" long and is 1/4" thick by 2" wide
Looking forward to trying them out tomorrow.
