Tool Rest for Pole Lathe is a prepared wooden fillet (three sided cross section) of seasoned ash or beech.  The perfect shape for a pole lathes tool rest.

As included in the WOODSMITH Pole Lathe Kit and the Ready to turn Pole Lathe.

760mm (30" ) long, the two right angle sides are approx. 50mm (2") and 45mm (1 3/4").  This offers two height options and a comfortable slope upon which to rest your arm.

Makes finding the correct 'angle of attack' easier.

This assumes your metal centres are 50mm (2") above the tool rest supports.

If your metal centres are a little more than 50mm (2") it should still work. If they are a little below 50mm (2"), you may need to plane wood from the tool rest to reduce its height.

On a pole lathe the best compromise height of a tool rest is the same as the distance from the top of the tool rest supports to the metal centres.
