Tool Rest

Adjust the tool rest as close to the workpiece as possible without actually coming into contact with the workpiece. Test by hand-turning the work- piece before turning the lathe on. Ensure that the lathe chisel is fully supported by the tool rest. Support the lathe chisel on the tool rest with one hand, while the other hand controls the chisel. See Figure 8.
