Wadkin rs tool rest holder

[Max Power]

I have just acquired a wadkin rs and the tool rest is there but not the banjo. Does anyone know where I might get one ?

There's a guy in wellingborough who often sells RS and graduate bits on gumtree - keep an eye on there. Failing that you may have to fabricate one to get you going until an original comes up.

Thanks , I'll keep an eye out there

ebay is always good for second hand bits - although people will sometimes try their luck and list things at quite high prices.

Sorby (and others perhaps) do modular tool rests - you buy a post that is the correct diameter for your banjo and then there are several rests of different lengths and shapes that fit on.
