Has anyone here have the arm which holds the lathe tool rest break on them while turning? I just had it happen to me a few minutes ago while turning a project.

p.s. Merry Christmas!!:D

It broke on the opposite side of the handle which tightens the tool rest. I plan on calling Shopsmith Monday morning. It appears the arm is made of cast aluminum. I hadn't noticed any cracks or anything which would have appeared out of place. I plan on taking it the the SS User Group meeting tomorrow afternoon.

p.s. And a Happy New Year to you too!
