Before installing a tool rest, decide which

one will be best for your application. Unless

workpiece clearance is an issue, install the

larger tool rest to give yourself more room to

work.

To install the tool rest, do these steps:

1. Insert the tool rest into the tool holder as

shown in

Figure 12.

2. Lock the tool rest in place with the tool rest

lock.
