I am making up a selection of tool rests from 1" cold rolled bar stock for my Powermatic 3520A. Since I have every thing out I will make you tool rest for $7.50 /ft of material used. i.e. 12" tool rest with 6" post is $11.00. Sorry the price is so high but my welder won't handle 1" stock so I have to take it to a welder. If you want to do your welding then I will cut price
50%. You can pick tool rests up or I will bring to the next Dallas Area Woodturners meeting. I would make the same offer to others in the group but freight costs drive the cost up so it isn't much of a savings. I have finished my bed extension and can now turn 10' between centers so using Powermatic's scheme I guess it makes it a 12020A. Have a piece of 1/2" thick 3" angle iron that I will us for the 5' 2 post tool rest. Also I have almost finished a 8' version of the Legacy Ornamental Mill to fit the lathe. I will remake it to a 10' version once I am satisfied with the design and will sell it cheep if anyone wants it.- posted
