A toolrest for adjustable mounting within a receiving portion of a lathe tool carriage relative to a workpiece comprising:
- a vertical post portion adapted for vertical and rotational movement within the receiving portion;
- a first substantially horizontal member extending at a first angle of about 90 degrees relative to the vertical post portion;
- and
- a second substantially horizontal member extending at a second angle of about 90 degrees relative to the first substantially horizontal member;
- whereby, upon adjustable mounting of the toolrest within the receiving portion, the first and second substantially horizontal members define a plurality of toolrest positions relative to the workpiece.
A one-piece toolrest for adjustable mounting within a receiving portion of a lathe tool carriage relative to a workpiece comprising:
- a vertical post portion having a first end and a second end, the first end being adapted for vertical and rotational slidable movement within the receiving portion;
- a first substantially horizontal member having a first end and a second end, the first end associated with the second end of the vertical post portion, the first substantially horizontal member extending at a first angle of about 90 degrees relative to the vertical post portion;
- and
- a second substantially horizontal member having a first end and a second end, the first end associated with the second end of the first substantially horizontal member, the second substantially horizontal member extending at a second angle of about 90 degrees relative to the first substantially horizontal member;
- whereby, upon adjustable mounting of the toolrest within the receiving portion, the first and second substantially horizontal members define a plurality of toolrest positions relative to the workpiece.
