5.0 out of 5 stars
I reduced it to 6 inches
I needed a 6" tool rest for my 12" Delta lathe but could not find one with this short 1" diameter shaft. I bought this 12" rest and lopped the ends of with a Sawsall to get my 6" tool rest. Works great. To see the video, search Youtube for "Making a 6" tool rest for lathe"

Fragile-- Handle with care
I've managed to break two of these things-- the head snaps off the stem, during a normal turning operation, if you put too much weight on the ends. It pays to keep your chisels very sharp and don't try to take too much off at once. I also broke one of their french-curve toolrests the same way the other day. They are indispensable for bowl-turning, so I ordered another one.

Inadequate for my application. tool rest post (should be 1") would not fit my tool rest holder, which has a 1" hole. I reduced the size of the shaft and then found the shaft is to short for proper use on my lathe. I did not return for refund because I altered the shaft diameter to fit my 1" tool rest holder.

Delta Tool Rest,
By LM (Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DELTA 46-711 12-Inch Tool Rest For Lathes (Tools & Home Improvement)
This tooling at best just functional, of marginal quality and way over priced as all Delta Accesories seem to be. The tool rest surface is reasonably strait and smooth as compared to other similar brands. So far I have had better like purchaseing after market goods for my Delta Lathe.
There are iron castings a plenty but they very extensively in both material and workmanship.
