Standard Toolrests:-

Good toolrest design is important to the overall function and enjoyment of the lathe. It is important that the rest does not trap the fingers of the leading hand when used in an underhand mode giving the unrestricted freedom to role the tool to acheive the correct cutting angle. Our standard rest design comes in two sizes 250mm(10") , the standard rest which comes with the lathe and the larger 350mm (14") rest giving extended reach.

Specal 150mm Toolrest for small or minature work:-

When turning small or miniature work it is essential to get as close as possible to the turning   

Deep Hollowing Rest:-

Conventional tool rests cannot generally be positioned so as to give support to the new (and very useful) breed of deep hollowing tools inside a narrow necked vessel. These tools are presented horizontally and although they are designed to resist bending under heavy cutting loads, support near the end of the tool to minimise overhang greatly improves control and cutting quality. The new HDB "Deep Hollowing Rest" has a strong supporting body with a telescopic extendable bar that can be positioned to give support to the tool up to 10" inside the work.
A "Swivelling Fork" can be located in the end of the bar to give a positive seat for the tool when it is out of site. An alternative "Fulcrum Pin / Stop" is also available for the end of the bar so that the turning tool is not captive and still be manipulated along the length of the bar without the danger of it running off the end.

  (Our standard Deep Hollowing Rest has a 25mm stem to suit all HDB200XL lathes now sold in the U.K.and the HDB200E lathes but
HDB200E lathes sold prior to July 1998 and those lathes sold by Hegner Agents outside the U.K. have a requirement for a smaller 20mm stem and we can supply to suit on the ref.  no indicated.)
