That blue colored one comes from Craft Supplies. I have seen an almost identical one from Powermatic that was gold colored. They are rather flat for outside work, but love the curve for inside work. Only down side to them is the cast metal, and after getting used to the hardened drill rod, I don't like them as much. I screwed the post into the tail end, and make sure to really tighten it down, and then leave it. I have no idea why any one would want two mounting holes. You set it up for the inside of a bowl, with the post pretty much in like with the rim of the bowl, and as you hollow out the center of the bowl, you just pivot the tool rest in, no need to move the banjo. You may need to file it down flat as mine has a dip in it and it drives me crazy.
