This modular tool rest system enables the turner to build up a collection of tool rests without going to great expense. Six different rests are available: 4″, 6″ and 9″ as well as a 9″ curved internal and external and a box platform which can be used in conjunction with just one stem.
Cross bars are specially hardened to avoid those troublesome nicks and to give a smooth finish.
Stems are available in ½”, ?”, ¾”, ?”, 1″, 25mm, 28mm and 30mm diameters to fit most popular lathes. The same stems are compatible with the Precision Boring System.

Upgraded lathe so just needed to change stem, I can keep the various rests. This is why I invested in first place. Would recommend.

I purchased this along with the flat platform tool rest. It is an essential piece of kit for the modular toolrest system and can be used with a variety of the Sorby toolrest platforms. The stem is well built and sturdy with helpful spanner flats just below the mounting thread to assist changing rest configurations. Just be careful that you get the correct diameter stem for your lathe banjo. Overall, a very good buy that should last a lifetime.

I am very happy with the product, however this item was part of a few other things that I ordered, took the best part of 3 weeks from time of order to time of delivery despite information on the website that all items were in stock and ready for delivery,

A solid item. Due to the high cost of components I will build up my various tool rests slowly so too early to judge the value v Record’s own brand
