Reply #2 - 08/20/12 at 14:19:59 I bought the oneway because I am making 16" bowls at this time and I needed a curved interior rest. The oneway works fine for me, I have heard the j-rest is better, but since I have never used it and it cost more so I went with the oneway.

The shape that Robust is using feels good to my hands.

Reply #4 - 08/20/12 at 22:30:47 The biggest difference between the Robust and the Oneway, other than different curves is that the Oneway will vibrate a bit when you are out on the end of it, more so if you are doing heavy cuts. The Robust is rock solid all the way to the end. robo hippy

I've used the Robust curved rest for at least a year and a half now and find it very stable, with no flex at all. The harded bar on the top also makes for very nice smooooooth operation too. Just what you need for that "final cut".
