Hi, i dinged my 12" tool rest, I can probably repair it but should it have dinged to begin with. I dropped the banjo and bent the tightening screw and later noticed a small dent in the tool rest. I have noticed other small nick that grab my tools. I got the rest on ebay, not expensive, It is a round rod rest. I have been looking at them and noticed they are nickel platted, the more expensive ones are crome platted steel, does that mean they are not hardened
