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.

I use the cross bar regularly and find it to be a good substitute for my original Record Power tool rest. It is slightly longer and not as liable to suffer indentations.

I recently bought this item it is much better than the 4″ tool rest you get with an Axminster lathe, the tools glide along it easily and is very hard so less chance of putting any little of those annoying dents

Great toolrest for any lathe owner. One post, different styles of toolrest. Great service from Yandles.

This system is a game changer. The difference between using these components and the original cast tool rests is a ‘night and day’ difference.
