Standard Compound Slide Rest - this was available for all lathe fitted with the "Plain" as distinct from the "Double carriage" or "Rise-and-Fall" rest.

Rise-and-fall" cross slide - or "Double Carriage". This device allowed the complete cross slide to be elevated by the action of a thumb screw at the rear. Hendey designed this for the 12-inch and 14-inch lathes when used for lighter, smaller work that required the constant resetting of tool height--the lack of rigidity in the structure would have rendered it a liability if used for heavier jobs.

Plain Tool Rest: the standard unit fitted to lathes with the "plain" carriage

Open-sided Tool Rest - intended to be substituted for the standard "American" slotted tool rest shown with the Plain and Compound Rests.

Quick-elevating tool rest. Another device intended to speed work on lighter jobs.

The "Homan" Patent toolpost. The slotted boss tightened onto a solid steel column on which rested the toolpost. The height of the post could be accurately set by the screw to the right of the cutting tool.
