The rest in that pic is a beast. Adam Booth does some lathe work on his Monarch in his latest video. There are some good up close video of his rest in it.

Recent posts by Adam Booth (Abomb79) on you tube shows him adapting one to fit his Monarch. IIRC he said the old one was a little too light weight for the job at hand.

 
I think I finally found one on E-bay and at a good price. I will know when it arrives. :cool:
 
Well I got it. Its a nice one. Seller wasn't sure if it was for a 15" or 16" swing, but I didn't want it to get away since he had only a buy it now listing. Fits the lathe ways nicely but its a tad bit short so its for a 15". No biggie though. I will just add a 1/2" plate underneath and it will be good to go.
