I'm going to start experimenting with thread chasing and I'd like to get a new toolrest for my Oneway 1018. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you know of Canadian suppliers that would be even better as it can sometimes cost an arm and a leg to get things across the border.

Thanks
Michael

This is what I did. I went to a local welding machine shop and had these built for $45 each. I prefer these much more than the one that came with my Mustard. They are made from 1 inch bar.

Thanks Pete. I had thought about doing that and since I'm not in any big hurry I might wait until we go back to school in September and get the machine shop there to make some for me. That would save some bucks for some other toys
