Description
Available in 5″ (Teal) 7″ (Lime Green), 10″ (Purple) and 13″ (Yellow) lengths with a standard 1″ post (if you have a different post diameter (i.e. 30mm, 1 1/8, 40mm, etc.) you can get a bushing here).
Why our Asymmetric Tool Rest?
- Greater reach without increasing the overall length of the tool rest.
- Low profile for improved access – this tool rest will not get in your way.
- High Quality welded construction with Case Hardened Top Rod and Powder Coated Finish.
- A good tool rest is one of the most underrated pieces of equipment we use as turners, having a tool rest that allows full access and is comfortable makes your process more enjoyable.
- Comes complete with a stop collar to make setting your desired height easy and repeatable.

Just what I need for bowls and other pieces that the tool post always gets in the way. This eliminates that problem!
Robert Keith (verified owner) –
Very comfortable and the offset works well when making bowls.

really like this tool rest. well designed, solid, and provides additional versatility my other tool rests don’t. I’ve never had a reason for a collet on my tool rests before, but found this beneficial and if not needed, just a second to loosen and move where it doesn’t interfere.

I like the offset makes it easier to turn

This tool rest allows me access to the inside of bowls and vases with a lot more ease than other tool rest. Really enjoy the way the tool rest sets up for easy access to the bottoms of pieces that I turn. Thanks Trent!!!

The offset is very handy

I’m happily impressed with the stoutness of this tool rest. So far it’s smoothed up a majority of the vibration that I would’ve normally felt with my Nova products. I also appreciate the small detail of making the set screw for the collars the same size as all of the other TB’s tool adjustment screws. Having one (or two) Hex keys for everything versus a pile of mismatched/misplaced Hex keys all over the shop makes life a little bit easier. Thanks Trent and team!

This tool rest is extremely well made. I got the 10″ one for Christmas and so far I love it. The way it’s designed it’s almost as though the tool rest is there but out of your way. The asymmetric design works perfectly as a day-to-day tool rest.
