Robust 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 drop the handle of your tools at a angle greater than 45 degrees for shear scraping and skew cutting action.
4, 6, 9, 12 and 15 widths are available in sizes to fit most 16-25″ lathes.

Box Rests are helpful when using a scraper or captive hollow rig to shape the inside of a
turned box or other hollow form. Robust box rests are made from solid ½” thick laser cut
steel and relieved on the edge for clearance. They are offset so that you can do the rim and
the inside all in one set up. A removable pin is provided to keep you from going off the
edge. Sizes to fit most lathes. The rest is 1.5” wide and overhangs 5”.

Please note, lathes with a 25mm diameter post such as the Grizzly or Laguna 1847 or their clones, are easily mistaken for 1” diameter posts, which will not fit.
