Robust tool rests are the finest tool rests ever designed for woodturning. In our opinion, there is no better and more economical way to upgrade your lathe's performance than to purchase a set of Robust tool rests. Robust tool rests have a hardened steel rod as the tool rest surface that provides a smooth surface which will never ding, nick or need filing. Your tools will glide effortlessly across the rod whether it is a straight style, curved style or the unique "J" style. Robust tool rests are offered in dozens of variations to accommodate just about every lathe on the market, as well as your own turning style.

The perfect size for pen turning. Very heavy duty and well built. What more could you ask for.

It's OK. Does not go all the way down in tool rest like original that came with my Laguna 1216 midi lathe. Its 1 inch in diameter but needs to seat about another 1/2 inch lower in too rest which unfortunately it does not.

The reviews and descriptions of this tool rest was exactly what I was looking for. I wish I could have given it 5 stars, but it was "delayed" in transit after being checked in and out of hubs. Then nothing.

Robust makes the best tool rests I've ever used. The small steel bar across the top is hard and smooth and easy to maintain, and there is plenty of room for my knuckles in the "comfort" part.I got this to replace a simple tool rest I had that was just a round steel bar on top of a round steel post. That one was solid. But I tend to do detailed cuts underhand, and when my hand went past the post on that one, my front knuckle would hit the post and cause a ridge on my work piece. This one puts the actual tool rest portion an inch or two in front of the post, and leaves ample room for your hand to slide along without hitting anything. Just make sure to get the right one for your lathe, and I'm quite certain this thing will last me my whole life.
