I often remove the tool rest from the banjo, while I'm sanding. Chips usually fall through the tool rest hole, but dust doesn't. As you know, the slightest bit of dust inside the tool rest mount hole, and the tool rest becomes sticky. This has been frustrating for me when I have to stop everything and clean out the tool rest mount hole in the banjo. Often times, when the dust is compressed inbetween the tool rest and banjo hole, it takes more to remove it than a blast of air.
This little item just slips into the hole. and keeps the hole free of dust......works like a charm!
It can be made from just about anything, but I used a piece of scrap 1" dowel and a bit of scrap Masonite.....drill one hole and put it together with a screw.
