I've been using the same lathe for many years now and I use it 98% of the time to turn pens. Taking the tool rest on and off to sand the blanks always requires re-adjusting the tool rest height when returning it to the lathe. I seem to always have to shut off a couple times to adjust the height of it. Not a big issue but tonight I decided to "fix" the issue. Took a piece of UHMW material and drilled it to fit the post then turned it into a "spacer" to fit on my tool rest post. Now when I remount it to the lathe it is the perfect height every time. Simply, easy, cheap and works. Should have done it a long time ago.
