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.

Don't know what people are doing to them that are breaking them. I'm
murder on tools and in 3 years of abuse mine hasn't given a shimmy.

I've broken at least 6 toolrests. One catch when the tool in near the edge will do it.
