Comfort Rests earned their name because your hand fits comfortably in the radius of the rest, whether you use an overhand or underhand grip. You can also drop the handle of your tools at a greater than 45 degree angle for great shear scraping and skew cutting action. Click the links below for photos of the individual rests:
The standard post is 1" diameter, available in long, standard and short lengths. 1 1/8", 1 1/4" and 30mm diameter posts are available on special order. Click Here for a tool rest selection matrix. Click Here for tool rest dimensions. |
