    Tool Rest Rod

    Okay, so I have been searching the forum to find info, but I keep coming up short. I am needing to have some tool rests made this week, and I was curious what is a good rod to use for the top. I know most rods don't come hardened, but annealed. Is O1 rod gonna be hard enough in the annealed state, or should I harden it before attaching it to the tool rest?

    Also, if I was willing to pay for it would a HSS rod like this make more sense?

    Thanks,
