This is the bottom half of the compound rest on the mini lathe.
This part has a second set of holes that moves the center of rotation of the compound rest to help eliminate chatter.
Use the holes nearest the end of the part.
The thread pitch is 1 mm so the compound advances 0.040" (actually 0.0394") per revolution. Use with a dial that has 40 divisions.

Thomas ★★★★★

For anyone struggling with chatter on their mini lathe, swapping to this bottom rest piece was a game changer. Those second set of holes really do shift the pivot point and stabilize the tool perfectly.

Claire W. ★★★★★

The extra set of holes made a real difference in reducing chatter on some tricky cuts I was doing. It bolted right up to my existing slide with no surprises.

Joshua M. ★★★★★

Installed this on my mini lathe and the second set of holes made a noticeable difference in reducing vibration during cuts. Took less than 15 minutes to swap out the old part and get everything aligned. Really solid construction that feels like it'll last.
