The wood turning tool rest clamps into a standard tool post so you can turn wood on your mini lathe or bench lathe. The tool rest height can be adjusted and it can rotate 360 degrees. The spur center fits in the lathe spindle with a #3 Morse taper. Mount the tool in a standard tool post by securing the shelf with the three set screws on the tool post. The spur center secures directly in the spindle with the chuck removed.
