Modular Tool Rest System
A lot of turners have problems with their lathe tool rest. Which are either cast or made from low grade steel and tend to be relatively soft. When a square tool, like a parting tool, is used it can dig into the rest creating notches. This can make it difficult to smoothly move the tools along the rest make an even cut.... scroll down for more details......

......The Crossbars from the Sorby Modular Tool Rest System are made from hardened steel, greatly reducing this problem  and therefore enhancing the ease and enjoyment for the turner. 

This system has many design features that make it the MUST HAVE in every wood turner's workshop. 

Choose the Stem that fits your lathe - stems are available in 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1", 25mm & 30mm diameter.

Then select from the Crossbar range the one that suits your requirements. 
Screw them together and you will have a perfect tool rest. 

Once you have the Stem you can just keep adding different Crossbars. The securing flats machined on the Stem ensure a perfect fit when screwed into the toolrest
