Rubber Pad, 8.5x20 Bench Lathe

The rubber has a nice, non-slip texture that keeps tools from sliding around, and it sits flush with the headstock surface. I was worried about fitment, but it dropped right into place with zero fuss.

Fits perfectly onto the lathe headstock and the rubber has a nice, firm grip that keeps tools from sliding around. I’ve had no issues with it shifting during use, and it’s exactly what I needed to replace my worn-out one.

The pad sits flush on the headstock with no wobble, and the rubber is firm enough to protect the surface from chips. Swapped the old one out in under a minute, though I wish it came with a second spare.
