I have a South Bend 9" Precision Lathe, which I would like to use to
turn wood bowls. I have a spindle rest but need a rest suitable for
turning bowls. Can anyone advise me on what tool rest I should or
could use, and where am I likely to find one or get a plan to make
one?
Many thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian

Have a look at my site, I have used a tool rest and banjo from a General
wood lathe on my lathe, if you want to know more details send me a message.
