>Don, if you are looking for some rests to fit the Jet, Lee Valley has a real good selection. I just got mine in the mail on Friday.

>I already ordered the Woodcraft 12-incher, to supplement the 6-inch one that comes with the Jet. According to Woodcraft, it is on the way already. After reading Lyn's tool rest review article, it seemed that it was what I needed. But I could be wrong!
The LV ones sure look a lot like the BestWoodTools.com offerings. I wonder how they compare?

>Not sure about the ones from Bestwood, but the LV are all made by Sorbey. I purchased the post for the Jet Mini and a couple of the various lengths. They work very well.
