Hello all,
I'm looking for a tool-maker / welder that would be interested in making up a narrow 3" wide tool rest for me. The longest one I've been able to find is 4" which I have, but it's too wide for my purposes, and I want a shorter one.
It doesn't have to be fancy-- unless you want to make it that way. It can just be two pieces of round bar made into a T. The only stipulation is that it needs to be 3" wide, and fit a 1" nominal diameter post hole.
I have a 4" wide tool rest someone made for me out of 5/8" round bar-- he use the 5/8" bar for both the tool rest and the post for my midi lathe, and that one works fine, so the same 5/8" rod can be used for the horizontal bar on the 3" wide tool rest.
If anyone has the capabilities and would be interested, you can PM me instead of tying up a thread for it.
Thanks...JEB
