6" and 9" Robust Tool Rests w/ 1" posts. Post length on both is 4-1/8" from top of rest to bottom of post (see photo). These were used on a Oneway 1224 but likely will fit several other lathes.

Whoops! Never mind. I think this is to short for my lathe.

I believe you can go to the Robust site and pick the right length for your lathe.

I haven't confirmed, but I think they are too short for my PM-3520.

A shame, they're a great deal!

Edit: I couldn't find the answer on the Robust site, but Packard has PM tool rests advertised as 8" from top of rest to bottom of post.

I measured some Robust rests for a Jet1642 I'm giving away: 5-1/4 to 5-3/4".
For a PM3520b: they are 6-3/4 to about 7".

John, am I understanding that the overall height is 6 3/4 to 7”?, 1” post? If so, I’d love one if I can pay shipping.

Oh, sorry, mine are not for sale. I just measured some I have to perhaps give others a better idea of heights of the Rick's rests would or wouldn't work with. I keep some just to take to demos when I don't know the lathe ahead of time. I really should order a couple more - our club switched to a lathe with an 18" swing and the shorter rests I have just BARELY fit, ok for small turnings.

I REALLY like the Robust rests. Those Rick offered would be an excellent deal for someone with a late with the right swing and post diameter.

I understand. Sort of an “eats shoots and leaves” situation. I thought the tests were being given away, not the Jet 1642!
