I have a Robust Sweet 16 dogleg banjo that I'd sell for half price of a new one......if you're interested.
It's on the right in the photo. Let me know.

What is shaft diameter. Any tool rest come with it and how much?
I find myself saying bad words to my Vicmark banjo! I have to remember to really tighten it down to make sure it doesn't slip as I turn. Most of the time I am in production mode so I am taking heavy roughing cuts. I guess I will get used to it eventually....

Shaft diameter and price any extra rests you have that will fit it.

Link shows it to be $445, so it would be half that, plus shipping.
Made for 1" tool rest posts.
Includes no tool rests.
