Another Tool Rest Thread

[Matt Hutchinson]

I didn't want to steal the other thread currently underway, but does anyone know if there are any rests being sold with 1.25" diameter posts? That's what my lathe accepts, and it's a little frustrating not being able to use 'standard' equipment. I know that it's not expensive to get them made, but I am curious to see if there are any out there. Thanks.

Matt what size do you want to use. If you like the 1" get a bushing to drop in. Try Carr Lane supply they may have what you need or if you know a machinist have one made.

Matt you can find them here in their modular tool rest system. A friend of mine needed one and got it here. They go up to 1/14".

I would check with Robust. They can probably make one up.
