Hello,
Does anyone know where I can purchase a shorter 7/8" post for the modular tool rest system? I love this system but the long stem occasionally prevents me from moving the rest as close to the work as I would like. TIA for any help!
Best regards,
Harry

Thanks Pete. I am considering doing that myself with my chop saw and a SS cutting blade but have not figured out a safe way to hold the piece while I cut. A hack saw is out of the question giving my back. Maybe I can grind it down?

I don't know what steel is used for the tool posts, I will ask Clive to come in on this one.

Hi Harry...As Pete quite rightly advised the 7/8" stem for the modular tool rest system is only produced in 4 3/4" long...The material is mild steel so many of our customers have cut them to their required length...Regards Clive

I used an Angle Grinder on mine.

Thanks Richard. I did mine with a grinder and a large bolt cutter. Pretty simple. Took ~30 minutes.
