    I've had my DVR now for about 4 yrs and have always used a 1" in mine including the new robust rests I just bought fit fine.

    Toolrest:
    Length: 300 mm (12 in.)

    Shaft Diameter: 25.4 mm (1 in.)
    The Woodcraft Spec is wrong,it's not (another Nova owner)
    Making sawdust mostly, sometimes I get something else, but that is more by accident then design.

    Steve, there is some variation in machineing. As an example not one of the "1" nuch tool rests I bought worked on my Nova, until I worked on it. A friends, bought at about the same time had no such issue
