Interesting that you bring this up, because I turned up this thread earlier today: http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/showthr ... est+rotate
Talks about adapting an Elbotool to the shopsmith: http://www.elbotool.com/

I also recall seeing on youtube a DIY version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNuiXiNp ... ideo_title

Penn State Industries has a clamping-style toolrest similar to the one in the Carter system but I don't know how substantial it is, but something like that certainly will give you better control over turning inside a deep vessel.
