Sorby Modular Tool Rest Stem– 1" X 4-3/4"

It works perfectly

After trying other rests that said they were 1" but weren't I was relieved to find that this was a true 1" post and fit very well in my Laguna Revo 15-24.

Perfect fit for my Jet 14" lathe.Arrived quickly and perfect for my use.

Personal slave, turning assist tool that didn’t have the post.This fits my 1 inch banjo and fits the lathe tool-rest.

I ordered both the Sorby rest and post in December and when the post and rest stayed screwed together it was great. Unfortunately the rest and the post would loosen and the rest would not hold position. I could have lived with tightening every once in a while but now the parts will not tighten at all. And no, I did not over tighten the parts. Could be the threading on the rest and post were out of tolerance. Also there is a taper below the threaded end of the post . Instead of the taper it would do well to have a scored disc to snug up against the bottom of the tool rest. I was a big fan of this steady rest when it was working. Hartville tool wasn’t interested in helping and I have yet to hear back from Sorby.

Works great in my Jet 1440 lathe, nice and solid

Very well machined part. Excellent fit in my delta X lathe

The length is fine for regular turning, but too short for use with a skew on my Powermatic 3620B lathe. It should be about 2" longer.
