Carbatec Small Curve Lathe Bowl Tool Rest M12 x 1.75

Small Bowl Tool Rest 5.2" (M12 x 1.75): Close Support for Detailed Turning

Get in close and stay in control when you turn smaller bowls and fine detail. This 5.2" curved bowl tool rest gives you a compact support surface that sits right up near your workpiece, so you can keep your gouge steady and your cuts clean. The steel construction stays rigid under load, minimising flex so you feel confident every time you present a tool to the timber.

The rest is finished with a black electrophoretic coating that bonds evenly to the steel, right across the surface and edges. This gives you better wear resistance than a standard painted finish, so you keep a smooth, consistent contact surface through repeated use. The M12 x 1.75 thread locks securely into compatible lathe banjos, holding firm against the vibration and cutting forces that tend to loosen smaller fittings at higher speeds.

Key Features

• 5.2" curved profile: Follows the tighter curve of small bowls, letting the rest sit close to your workpiece to reduce tool overhang and sharpen your control.
• Steel construction: Provides a rigid, stable support surface with minimal flex under load, so your cuts stay accurate.
• Black electrophoretic coating: Bonds evenly to the steel for wear resistance well beyond standard paint, maintaining a consistent tool contact surface over time.
• M12 x 1.75 thread: Creates a secure mounting point in compatible banjos, holding alignment even under vibration and higher-speed turning.
• Compact design: Suited to detailed work where close positioning and fine tool control matter most.

Main Applications
