The Toolrest bar is part of the modula nova tool rest system, a flexible system which allows you to mix and match your toolrest posts and supports to create the perfect toolrest for your needs. This style from Nova has a nice stainless ( thats what they say it is ) round rod welded to the edge for the tool rest. It allows the tools to slide very smoothly. This threaded bar enables you to use different nova toolrest posts as needed. It is made from cast steel with a stainless steel top rod for durability and smooth operation.

If you are looking to buy a suitable rest for your daily purpose, this product is the right option. The Nova 9006 woodsurfer bowl rest is a unique curved toolrest to make bowl turning easier. It comes with a 1-inch shank for a super strong platform and solid cast iron for maximum strength. It has rough spots from the casting process where you slide the gouge or chisel. It is great for larger bowls.
The tool itself has a raw casting finish overall, however the actual tool rest portion is smooth and suitable for accurate turning. It fits all lathes with a 1-inch toolpost fitting. It is ideal for use with the nova or3000 outrigger accessory. It is great for getting to the bottom of the interior bowl, but the long side works great on interior turning.
Why We Like This:
Good addition for turning oversize bowls
A good, sturdy rest for working on the outside of bowls
A must have for turning large bowls
Very heavy and stout, excellent rest for curved turnings such as bowls
