tool rest arm

Post by mikeb »

Does anyone know of a better built tool rest arm for the lathe. When I get a strong catch turning a bowl the arm cracks where the tool rest goes into the arm. If not a stronger arm is there any way to make the arm stronger.
Thanks,
Mike

One of these is probably your best bet.
