Instead of the bar getting dinged, it will be your spindle and other parts that will get dinged.

The knockout bar is a lot easier and cheaper to replace than other parts of the lathe.

Just my opinion, OK ?

>That Tommybar looks perfect.... Thanks guys.

I understand about the soft metal, but this metal on my bar is a little ridiculous, not to mention the handle. Anyway, that tommybar will fill the bill. Larry

Knock-out bar should be brass !!

>If you can braze or if you need to have it done here is a great rod. If you have a drill, tap and a threader you can also do it this way.

Cut off the top portion of an old trailer ball and braze to a 3/8 rod. This has a great weight and does not require a lot of pounding even on a tight taper.

Good turning and be safe
