How tight are the tolerances for the tool rest post diameter to the toll rest body (banjo?).
I have the HF 34706 12" lathe - yeah, I know:rolleyes:.
I purchase a new tool rest and the post is a full 1" dia. where the HF is slightly under. Without thoroughly thinking it out I bored the HF to accept the new post. Now the existing tool rests are a little sloppy.
How much is too much. Would I be better off getting a replacement? And no, a new lathe is not an option at this time.
Thanks
