I looked for my duplicator steady rest, and have not located it yet!:(transplanted wrote:I will try and upload pics of my SS lathe steady rest. Outfitting, organizing, and constructing the inside of my new detached 12x16 workshop. Presently working on the benches, so as a result, most everything is still in boxes.
Good news is, it's in a box. Bad news is, which one?
Can anyone provide me with pictures of the lathe steady rest?

Here are some pictures of the steady rest. As I mentioned, from the SS Customer Rep, I bought 5 pieces...The support rod the Y adapter goes into, the Y adapter, the bolt for the Y adapter to the support rod, and the two bolts for the bearings. The bearings I bought at a Local Hardware store. Their 7/8"x1/4", and the tool rest with post I got on eBay for $10.

Here's a few more pictures of which one is the rack for my Shopsmith "stuff" going up in my soon to be pretty functional 12'x16' workshop.

Most excellent! This clearly shows how this works. After things calm down at shopsmith I'll give them a call and get the parts I need. I hope they will have them in stock.transplanted wrote:Here are some pictures of the steady rest.

Thank you!

Your shop is looking good. I still hope to have one someday, until then the garage will have to do. If any of my text looks green it is envy.transplanted wrote:Here's a few more pictures of which one is the rack for my Shopsmith "stuff" going up in my soon to be pretty functional 12'x16' workshop.
