1.0 out of 5 stars Delta 4" Tool rest does not fit new 12" Delta lathe, February 22, 2007

I had to return this prduct because the stem is not long enough to be held by the 12" Delta wood lathe at a proper height.

The banjo needs to be able to safely grasp the stem of the tool rest to hold the top at the centerline of the spindle. This tool rest is incapable of that. It would need to be about 1" longer.

There's nothing wrong with the tool rest, as far as I can tell, but the stem isn't long enough for the Model 1440 Delta model lathe that I have. The wierd part is that I bought the lathe from Amazon a couple years ago, and about two weeks ago they showed me this tool rest and said that since I had bought the 1440, I might like to buy this tool rest. As it happens, I did want a short tool rest so I ordered it. Well, it doesn't fit the 1440 because the stem places your tool too low.

This review is from: DELTA 46-690 4-Inch Tool Rest For Lathes (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have a Delta 46-700 12-Inch lathe and this tool rest works just fine. This is an older lathe. I don't use it much and use my 6" more frequently. I had to make this by buying a 12" rest with a short 1" diameter post and cutting off the ends with a Sawsall. I posted a video of this which you can view on Youtube by searching for "Making a 6" tool rest for lathe" The tool rests sold at Woodcraft have posts that are too long for my lathe.
