Tool Rest Recommendations
I'm pretty new to turning and would like to turn some smaller bowls. My lathe is a Jet Mini 1014 manual.. Y2K model. I'm looking for recommendations on curved tool rests for both inside and outside the bowl.
Currently looking at a set of 4 from Penn that have the 5/8" post. The rests are, IIRC, 5/8 round stock with some support under them. Price looks great at about $70. They also have three straight rests of round bar.. short, medium and longer for $30.. also sounds good. I've seen others that were cast iron curved.. rough looking but.. what do I know? That's why I'm asking.
Thanks for any help.
