vibration free-Heavy cast iron. Large handle for big hands, locks base to lathe bed "rock solid". Screw lock for tool rest works both left or right side. Helps to keep it away from work or tail stock.
Thats an exspecially handy feature when using the 24 inch tool rest
which requires two tool rest bases.

I have a 60's Delta Rockwell lathe and this tool rest came out of the box and fit on my lathe with no modifications. This rest is much heaver than the old banjo style, faster to adjust and much easier to use. This rest has made my turning much more enjoyable. Well worth the money and a real bargin thru Amazon. When the delivery date had pasted and the rest had not arrived Amazon shipped another out the same day. Seems USPS delivered it to the wrong address. The first rest showed up 2 days after the second was delivered. Amazon refunded me for the return shipping costs. I cannot put into words how happy I am with the customer service of your company. If you are on the fence have no fear, qreat product great service!!!

Since this went on my first lathe, I really do not have anything to judge it against, but it works great. Everything locks down tight with little effort

replaced the tool rest on my mastercraft lathe which is identical to the delta lathe. Very well made there is just no comparison to be made. mastercraft tool rest base was very flimsy
and broke twice on me.
