As mentioned elsewhere, the ideal all-around length rest for a swing like
the Nova should be 8", which is not on the menu. Mine came with the 4"
Teknatool, which is the same angle and beef as the 12,

Isn't that the darndest thing? I'm considering a Oneway 16" - that one
plus the 20" and 24" lathes come with only a 14" tool rest. I'd have to
get a 6" or 8" one just to do most of the work I normally do on my
current midi. I even modified one of the midi 6"ers down to 3" and use
that quite frequently.
