    Shopsmith Universal Tool Rest  

        Shopsmith's Universal Lathe Tool Rest is the most stable, most versatile lathe tool rest you'll find anywhere -- period! Its unique triple-jointed design lets you swing the arm and support in any direction to position your tool rest deep within the deepest bowls, vases or goblets - even around the back side of large diameter faceplate or chuck-mounted turnings.   

        Weighing-in at a full 35 pounds, this heavy, cast iron tool rest system gives you all the rock-solid lathe tool support and reach you'll ever need. You'll quickly "hog-out" huge amounts of waste or deliberately and delicately produce intricate designs with equal ease and assured, super-smooth results every time.  

        No more annoying vibrations, chatter or tool rest flexing. Whether you're turning with a faceplate, chuck or between centers, the added mass and adjustment flexibility of this system will make a big difference in your turning results from now on.
