I have the standard front mount cutoff tool (3002) that came with my lathe. I understand the potential advantages of the rear mount but wondering if there is any reason to get the dedicated rear mount cut off tool (3018) vs the rear mount spacer block (3016) that converts the front mount cutoff tool to a rear mount.
I can't imagine there are that many situations require both a front and rear mount tool at the same time, and other than the spacer block potentially being a little less solid, it seems like the spacer block would be preferred for the added flexibility and being cheaper if one already has the front mount cutter.
Any flaws in this logic?
