Some Okuma and MoriSeiki lathes I've seen have these in the slots for a back toolpost. A good idea...but if water based coolant is used, they have to be removed periodically and cleaned or replaced. The wood holds moisture long enough to rust in contact with the cast iron. And petrol based oils rot wood.

Sincerely,
