Can anyone recommed a curved 5/8" tool rest?

[Dan Masshardt]

I'd like to pick up a curved tool rest for bowl turning.

The catch is that it is to have a 5/8" post for my jet 1221.

Psi sells a round stock one and woodcraft sells a modular system. Not sure what else is out there.

How about this one... S; Tool Rest for Delta, Jet and Turncrafter Mini Lathes at Penn State Industries

or... Solid Bar 3 in. Radius Tool Rest for Mini Lathes: Curved 5/8 in. Post and Top at Penn State Industries

or couldn't these be heated up with a torch and bent to the shape you need... Solid Bar Tool Rest Set for Mini Lathes: 3-Piece 5/8 in. Post and Top Set at Penn State Industries



Sorry if I was not helpful.:redface: I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but maybe one of these options are useful.:wink:

Robust also makes a J rest with a 5/8" post:

Robust Comfort Tool Rests, Low Profile Tool Rests and Mini Rests, all with hardened steel bar

Not cheap but worth a look.

I have a six inch Robust rest for pens and other small items. This my fourth lathe and have never used a curved rest turning bowls. I have been looking at a J-Rest for my Jet 16-42.
