Yeah I agree, much better made plus it was my late dad's so I'd prefer to keep it. Just been out looking at it and I think I could make a new rest from a 15mm hex ring spanner cut off at the right height with a small steel plate welded on. Just have to get a spanner as I have ever size except 15mm!
Yeah it's strange stuff whatever it is. My cousin can weld most things including cast aluminium but this is different. By the way the photo is of the good one that's on the other wheel. The broken one is broken at an angle half way along the leg.
I have an old Wolf Bench Grinder Model No. TG6D, serial No. 892343 and one of the tool rests has broken. I gave it to my cousin who can fix most things but he said he had no luck trying to fix it. I know I could go out and buy a new grinder but this one belonged to my father and they were far...
