Robust tool rests are the finest tool rests ever designed for woodturning. In our opinion, there is no better and more economical way to upgrade your lathe's performance than to purchase a set of Robust tool rests. Robust tool rests have a hardened steel rod as the tool rest surface that provides a smooth surface which will never ding, nick or need filing. Your tools will glide effortlessly across the rod whether it is a straight style, curved style or the unique "J" style. Robust tool rests are offered in dozens of variations to accommodate just about every lathe on the market, as well as your own turning style.

Great design and impeccable fabrication. I’ve yet to find a tool by Robust that wasn’t world class. Robust rests are an upgrade to any lathe—regardless of brand.

What a well thought out and manufactured tool. This replaced my factory Laguna tool rest, and I have such better luck getting the right angles easily. Do yourself a favor if you turn, get this tool rest. Can never go wrong with anything made by Robust.

Best toolrest I've ever come across. Perfect fit for my Powermatic4224B lathe.

This tool rest was precisely what I needed to reach deep inside my project.

Very well made. Does just what I bought it for which is to get inside bowls and vessels for hollowing.

The rest is well constructed very solid. It doesn't work out in my oneway 2036 though. The tool post I received is only partially useful on my oneway 2036 lathe. It sets way too close to the machine centerline. Measuring down from a center in my tailstock the top is less than 1/4" below the center point. I can't cut to the center of a bowl with any of my medium to large bowl scrapers. They are thick tools and quit cutting at about 1" to 3" on diameter from center. To cut to center with a scraper I have to use a small one, and pull the rest away from the bowl,and tilt the scraper down! I have a number of bowl gouges and it is pretty nearly useless with the large ones. I have a robust 9" straight tool rest, it sets between 5/8" and 3/4" below my centers. That one works well.. I have messaged the retailer to see what my options are. It is a pretty tool.

This didn't really fit my Oneway 1224 lathe. I had to cut off the bottom of the pole and cut off pars of the the slanted bottoms of the tool rest in order to get the tool rest to sit at the right level to cut the middle of my bowl. On the other hand, I couldn't find a longer rest that would be useable inside a deep vessel I was making.

I would have gladly given this tool 5 stars but the tool rest post was apparently left unfinished after being cut to size. The edge was so rough and sharp that it would not fit in my tool rest base. This was not a very serious problem since I was able to easily fix it with a file but given the price of this tool, this should not have been necessary.
