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?
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. 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.

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.
