I make flutes and have a Jet 1442 lathe...Love it ...Suites me fine ! I would love to have a long toolrest..If I need to get one with two posts or whatever that would be fine. But I like to run the length of the flute w/o having to adjust the rest length wise....Sometime I putting some texturing on them them and it works better if I can have a consistent run down the flute and I am constantly measuring when turning them Thanks
