Tool rests

"I am considering upgrading my tool rest system on my Stubby 500. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?"

Sorby do a nice bit of kit that you may briefly look at.

I have one with a 6" leg and a 4" leg, made of 1" round. I can use either leg as the rest, with the other leg inserted into the banjo. It is very handy, and I find I use it more than my stock 12" toolrest.
