It is recommended that 9" crossbars are only used with any stem 3/4" (19mm) or bigger due to the forces created when turning wood.

These high quality modular tool rest posts are made from super strong, precision ground polished alloy steel for vibration free turning. This modular tool rest system enables the turner to build up a collection of tool rests without going to great expense.

This system has many design features that make it the must have in every wood turner's workshop. The system is as easy as 1-2-3. First choose the Stem that fits your lathe - stems are available in 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1", 11/8", 25mm and 30mm diameter. Then select from the Crossbar range the one that suits your requirements. Screw them together and you have a perfect toolrest. It is the interchangability of the system that makes is so simple to use on any lathe. Once you have the stem you can just keep on adding different Crossbars.

This line consists of six different rest: 4", 6" and 9"as well as a 9" curved internal and external and a box platform which can be used in conjunction with just one stem.
