Non-Oneway Lathe Upgrade Options

Upgrade you old toolrest base to the strongest and smoothest toolrest base design on the market today.


It has been brought to our attention that some older lathes, although loved and cherished, may have some defficiences. This may be attributed to technological advances or just poor workmanship.

It is well known that the clamping mechanism on our toolrest base (Banjo) is the best on the market. The revolutionary patented design allows for powerful, non-slip clamping over the entire range of positions. No matter where you clamp the toolrest on the bed, it will never slip or slide.

Because the toolrest base is such an integral part of the lathe, we have made our bases available to anyone interested in upgrading their current base to one of ours.

We currently offer these banjo's in five (5) different sizes:

10" Banjo - Part No. M0047
