Tool Rests

The importance of a tool rest is often overlooked - it is the interface between the tool and the work. At D-Way Tools, greater attention has been applied to improve the quality, construct, and position of the tool rest components. We are confident that our smooth surfaced tool rest will allow greater flexibility in hand movement and make a noticeable difference in your turning experience. 

D-Way Tools specializes in off-set tool rests. We believe these to be the finest on the market today.

• Manufactured from alloy steel and case hardened to withstand the rigors of daily use.
• Highly polished to provide a smooth and slippery surface.
• Design of top bar and post allows you to wrap your figures around the tool rest for greater precision and control.
• Flat spots on the post enable fingers to glide back and forth without obstruction. 
• Have sizes to fit most lathes.

Our site is currently being updated with the latest product descriptions and available inventory. In the interim, the full product line is currently listed and can be purchased off our BoxmasterTools.com site (will open in a new window).  To combine D-Way Tools order with items off the BoxMaster Tools site, please contact us and we'll assist in that effort and ensure there is no additional shipping charges. 

*** Special Note: D-Way Tools will no longer be making "S" & "J" shaped wood turning tool rests. These tool rests continue to be available from Brian Ames' Welding & Repair. Brian will also create custom tool rests.
