OOOHHH - The excitement is growing at a fever pitch I really cannot wait to get mine in a few weeks. I will see if I can get our machine shop to remove the 3/4" length on the shaft, or I'll take it to a tool & die house down the road from work. I think I can fabricate a new tool rest from bar stock, and thread the shaft, and tap a hole in the rest similar to Oneway's. Time will tell if I need to do that.

Mark, you could probably get by just fine with an additional 5/8" off........that is only 1/8" less than the 3/4" I did to my rest, but frankly at this point........the easiest thing to do is probably to get an aftermarket rest like the Robust or BestWood tools round rest...........I just did mine to show what I believe should have been the proper stop point on the post of the rest, trying to help all the others who ordered this unit.

Roger, what is the total height of the robust rests you got measured from the top of the rest to bottom of the post?

James.......the 15" comfort rest from Robust measures 7-3/8" total length, and the inside curve bowl rest is 7-1/4" total length. Both are considered the long post from Robust, and they both work really well on the G0766.

Did your replacement lathe arrive James?

Roger, Suppose to ship next week...

[William McAnelly]

Mine was shipped today from Springfield Mo. on UPS, I guess next week I will be making shavings.

I just home from a day of July 3rd festivities, and in my email box was a note from the TAW club secretary of a fellow selling everything due to moving to AZ. A Laguna 1642 lathe,a dn all the tool rests you could imaging as well as shapers, planers, dust collection systems at 30% retail. I called and it's all gone already. He had a whole set of the BestWoods reversible bowl rests as well as straights and t-bars all with 1x5.75" posts. Darned the luck. I would've bought it all and saved a bunch. Oh well.
