I have two 12" straight tool rests, one that came with the lathe, the stock Nova tool rest.......
....and one I made out of 1" round stock, I use this one for a lot of roughing out, as it is SOLID
I also have a 6" tool rest, that came with the lathe, it is from Woodcraft, I think.......(like this, but 6" not 12")
I've often wanted, or needed an 8" or 4" straight tool rest, so I finally got off my duff and made some
Two pieces of steel, a flat bar stock, 8" long, about 2" wide, and 3\8" thick, and one piece of 1" round stock, 6" long.
I then cut a notch in the round stock to hold the bar stock......
