One of the features of my Atlas metal lathe that I have come to depend on for certain woodturning operations is the compound tool rest (cross slide) and tool post with HSS metal lathe bits. When I picked up my Jet mini, I found that I really missed the utility of this item. I enjoy making jigs and the more I thought about it, the more interesting the prospect of making one became, and I decided I had to see if I could do it.
The results of my efforts are shown in the following photos.
