I do a fair bit of spindle work and despite rounding the corners of the skew and regular dressing of the toolrest edge I still find "rough spots" in just the wrong place at the wrong time.
A while ago I watched Robohippy's toolrest Utube clip and he had welded "drill rod" to the top edge to prevent all the nicks and dings. Great idea ! While still overcoming my inertia I see Vicmarc are now putting " semihard " rod on the top of their new rests..... So ...."semi hard ", tool steel or HSS rod ?... and size 5,8 or 10mm .Even 12mm ! Any thoughts before I start welding ? Phil
