  -> Thanks, and no worries! Of the various options, I'd go for "tool rest" as the most general, but as you say below, any context / diagram will determine which one is most appropriate.

While I was getting out my Kluwers, Neil Cross pipped me to the post, and has included my four definitions in his further answer so you should agree with his answer, which is fuller than mine.
