Shopsmith’s new Universal Lathe Tool Rest is
the most stable, most versatile lathe tool rest

you’ll ever need. You’ll quickly “hog-out” huge
amounts of waste or delicately produce intricate
designs with equal ease and assured super-

mass and adjustment flexibility of this System
will make a big difference in your turning results
from now on.
