Kevin,

An afterthought on the Jet Mini: The toolrest is predisposed to easily break
right where the post meets the top, so I would have a backup handy.
The one our club owns has a simple homemade "T" made of welded 5/8" stock that
works well.

Good thought. I have a 6" Woodfast rest that I use on my Nova. Don't
know if the post will fit, but think not. It's probably too thick.
I'll look into getting another one - might actually want one longer than
6". Sometimes that just seems too short...
