I recently got a flat top tool rest, post, and stop collar. I generally use carbide tools, so I figured this would be a nice addition. I had not used it and Angelina came out to the shop and saw it all shiny, so she is doing the kid dance in front of the lathe, "Daddy can I do it?" So I work with her on it, and she was getting very thin strips. At one point I have her hold the hose to the shop vac, and I do some cutting with it, and beautiful ribbons were rolling off. If you use carbide tip tools I say get the flat top tool rest.

I am not mentioning where I got the tool from, but most everyone knows where you get them from.

No Ed, I am not satified. I am still waiting for pictures post here of the kids using the 'winnings' from the Kid Contests. WE need to see them at the lathe and then with something they finished. You know Ed, I have one also (flat top tool rest) and it is just about the nicest thing for using carbide I have ever found.

Ben.......check the 'cheers & jeers' section of the forum. You will see nothing but CHEERS for Rick's work. My opinion.......he is the very best.

This is a great tool rest. I use mine all the time. The mistake I made was not getting the stop collars. That would have made it real nice :)
