Steady rest help

(1/4) > >>

skelly369:
Hi I have a lathe with a round bed bar, are there steady rests available for this set up? Thanks

Philip Green:
My immediate response is that all lathes should have a banjo or another means of holding a tool rest. Not much good otherwise.

I think you will find the make & model will be useful and a photograph if possible. It will help members provide you with a more informed answer.

From memory there are several wood lathes out there that have a single round bed bar. From the early Myford ML8 to the later NuTool models. What lathe do you have?
