Lathe Steady Rest Question
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2022 2:33 pm
I was looking over a Lathe Steady Rest on ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/125462858192?e ... SwU8xi-GCZ) and have a question. In the last photo, attached below, there are two holes in the post ~4" apart. The post looks otherwise similar to a standard tool rest post. What are the holes for?
I looked closely at a picture on the mothership's site and it also appears to have the holes. https://www.shopsmith.com/itempics/ljpg ... 55280l.jpg But they are not being used.(?) Still closer inspection reveals that the tool rest post may also have the holes.
