Spent an hour looking for a 1" post that would work on this. So what exactly is the size of the threaded top? 1/2" 20tps or what? I found nothing with

Accepted Answer

I don't know about 1" post availability.  One may be available direct from Woodcut Tools or from Robert Sorby tools.

Both of my Jet lathes use 5/8" tool rest , so I ordered the Woodcut Tools Tool Post 5/8" x 3 1/4" with 1/2" UNF Thread Woodturning Lathe for Bowlsaver or Irons Tool Gate TP16 @ $59.95 directly from Amazon.

I have seen adapters that allow the 5/8" tool rest to be used in a 1" banjo.
