Rockler Lathe Tool Rests, 5/8'' Dia. x 2-1/2'' Posts

Run your finger along the edge of Rockler's premium Lathe Tool Rests, and you'll know instantly what a pleasure they are to use. That's because each tool rest is capped with a 5/16" round stainless steel bar, providing a silky-smooth surface for your turning tools to glide across and a comfortable contour for your fingers to slide in as you work.

The rests are available in two sizes, so you can pick the one best suited to your work. A short rest allows you to sneak in closer, even if other parts of the workpiece are wider, while a longer rest provides more sliding surface without having to readjust. The 5/8" diameter x 2-1/2''-long mounting post fits most mini and midi lathes.

• 5/8'' diameter mounting post fits most mini and midi lathe banjos
• Stainless steel bar forms a smooth contact surface for lathe tools
• Contoured surface makes tool handling more comfortable close to the tool rest
• Choose 6'' or 10'' tool rest lengths to best suit your turning needs
• Rugged cast steel body with black epoxy finish
• Integrated mounting post (not threaded) so it won't loosen with vibration or impact

Note: Post fits a 5/8'' inside diameter hole. To adapt this tool rest to fit a 1'' diameter hole, see our Adapter Bushing (#56172, sold separately).
