Does anyone use the small Tormek rest? I've had this one for years but I can't find it on the Tormek web site now.
It is smaller than the standard SVD-110 and has a thin sheet of some type of low-friction material bonded to the flat surface. It's perfect for sharpening smaller tools, especially small skews and scrapers with curved cutting edges. It's also what I use for small curved hand scrapers that need to be turned continuously - the friction on other rests makes that more difficult.
The small one and the larger SDV-110, mounted on the Tormek support at the bench grinder with a 600 grit CBN wheel:

Both together on the bar for comparison. (not useful for sharpening!)

In another thread on negative rake scrapers ( I mentioned this smaller, but when I went searching for it online I can't find it for sale or a picture of it. Could it have come with another attachment?
I did buy it a long time ago (14-15 years?)
