24-Inch steel tool rest with two 1-Inch posts 12 inches apart (on center).
$55.00
The tool is unbranded, but stickered “Made in Canada”. If memory serves, I bought this from Lee Valley Tools, so the Canada sticker makes sense. The leading edge has signs of use, but there are no meaningful dings that affect tool movement. This rest really helped when I was turning some large maple table legs. Two banjoes are, of course needed. I can ship it via USPS for $15.00. I'm happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

I used it successfully on some sets of table legs. The continuous length was very helpful. Those turnings were done on a lathe with a modest 12" swing. I don't recall how much extra rise there may have been and I'm afraid that I don't own that lathe any longer. Unless the banjo column is high enough, the post length on this rest might be a problem on an 18sih inch machine. Tough to say.
