Greetings
Little machine shop sells three tool rest attachments for metal lathes. I rigged one up used it a couple times then decided that it was just as easy to use lathe tooling. http://littlemachineshop.com/product...1685&category= Regards Mike Sent from my iPad using Penturners.org mobile app

Although I like Little Machine Shop and have bought a lot from them, I don't find the product mentioned at this link to be very satisfactory because of toolpost instability issues on the particular lathe I have (Sieg C3 ... very similar to several LMS lathes).

Or you could make your own manual tool rest for your metal lathe.

Used lathes for sale here. . Most look pretty big, if not huge, but your friend might find a small one:
