>Sure, wait about 6 months, and you will break the toolrest with a hard catch, and have to buy an aftermarked toolrest like 90% of Jet mini users. Problem solved.
Seriously - use a mill file to file the tool surface smooth.

>I agree, I used a file and filed my off, but you will have to do the filing anyway due to nicks and dings in the rest, and the black substance will come off, once off you can apply light wax to keep it from rusting and make it slick for the movement of the tool.....until it breaks anyway...so far I have had mine 2 years and still have the orig rest!!!!...Dennis Taylor
