your Steady rest and Follow rest look amazing. I also need these 2 attachments for my SB heavy 10. You mention welding together 2 pieces of 5/8 plate. Did you leave it at that 1 1/4" thickness or did you finish it down thinner. I will certainly be looking at your work when I make my own.

It is 1.250, the fingers are .625...the bottom slide is welded on and profiled. If I were to make another I would have the hinge area on the lower section raised another half inch or so...

Pdog, what size belt does that grinder use? that looks like a nice compact unit with a small footprint. Very nice looking for a scrap box build.:encourage:

Thanks for the compliment...the sander takes a 2 x 48 belt..
 
Nice job very professional.
