Sinner Tool Rests

[Tom Albrecht]

I am selling two lightly used Sinner rests, 1 @ 12" and 1 @ 9". I can no longer get my arthritic fingers wrapped around them for spindle work. Both were used on my 25" diameter lathe with a 1" tool post banjo. New cost is $185 for both. I will sell these for $140 plus $12 shipping.

Located in Chicago area.

For anybody unfamiliar with the Steve Sinner tool rests, I think they are the greatest invention since sliced bread. I have had the nine-inch rest for about twelve years and it is my go-to rest for almost everything, but it is especially great for shear cutting, shear scraping, pull cuts with the gouge handle dropped really low, and turning beads when using the D-Way beading tools.

Would these be comparable to the robust line of rests?

I'd say that they are very similar in that they are both heavy duty and both use the same size round bar on top. The biggest difference for me is the attachment point on the Sinner blocks my arthritic fingers from wrapping around.
