I have the curved "bowl" toolrest from Woodcraft and don't use it
much. I find that the 'hub' in the center to be quite annoying and in
the way when I'm trying to get a good curved 'final' cut. It is handy
when trying to get to the bottom of a bowl with very little
tool-overhang but not when trying to do one last final continuous cut.
Maybe I haven't learned how to use it properly.

Hi, Ruth! I bought and ogee(?) "s"-shaped tool rest for my Sears "Classic"
Monotube. I have found it very handy upon occasion, but don't use it very
often.

I'm sure this subject has discussed here before and if I searched the
archives, I'd find my answer. However, since things are sort of quiet
here right now, I'll just ask opinions on curved tool rests.

Which one do you have, do you like it and why or why not?

I was always going to get one but .......... well, just never did.

Thanks,
Ruth
