Jet Mini Lathe Tool Rest Post Diameter?

Hi, newbie here.

Can anyone tell me the diameter of the tool rest post?

I am looking at getting a curved bowl rest. There is one but you have to pick a separate post with it and I need to know the post size that will fit in the Jet Mini Lathe.

Thanks,

James

5/8" inch.

I know because I am in the same boat myself.

Just a suggestion, but you could always just ... measure it!

Forgot to mention, there are three options available:

The Jet French Curl tool rest :

pricey for an O.E.M. rest at $30. The Woodcraft:

straight bar are/were finger eaters. Inexpensive for the curl. And the Best Wood Tools T-Bar Modular Tool Rest System

the nicest, but priciest of the lot. FWIW,

Hi!

LOL! Guess I should have explained that the lathe is on order. I am just one of those people that makes a list of the items I need. Am trying to get everything ordered as soon as possible so don't want to wait for the lathe to arrive to measure it. I did check Jet home page - no info on post size, and even found an on-line manual - still doesn't provide the post size.

It may be 2 weeks till the lathe gets here. If I wait to measure, then order the curved bowl rest, it may take another 2 weeks for that to arrive, so you see my want to find out sooner.
