My New Steady Rest
Quite a while back , I built a steady rest for my lathe. It used the telescoping arms which I really like. I am not happy with the look of the body on the steady rest. I want something closer to the original styling. See what I mean. It just don't look right. It functions just fine, it's the...

Was this what you were looking for?
Suzuki4vr- Thanks for the reply, I found this earlier and tried to contact Mark but after no reply I did some further digging and came to the conclusion Mark was no longer on the site. He does some interesting work and I'm sure he is missed here. I'm drawing up my own steady rest for my 9" SB and I was hoping to get copies of the original SB prints for reference dimensions and also detail drawings to save time on stack up dimensions from Marks. My steady rest will be different in design as far as the body goes but his info on the telescoping fingers would save me time and headache! I can figure out the telescoping stack-up from the info in his description. This is a long term project I'm working on and I'll try to post pictures as I go along. Thanks again!
