I'm currently turning pens on a Sherline 4100 series lathe, and while I like the lathe, the wood tool rest leaves very much to be desired.
This Taig tool rest looks pretty awesome. I've been comparing the Taig Micro Lathe II and the Sherline 4100, but I haven't been able to determine if this tool rest would be compatible w/ my lathe. I'm pretty new to turning, so it's entirely possible I am overlooking something.
Can anyone with more experience with mini metal lathes speak to this tool's compatibility w/ a Sherline? I'll include the links below:

I don't mean to steal termitpenman's thunder, but I thought this would be relevant to the topic. If this should have been a new thread, please let me know, and I apologize in advance.
Thanks.
