Looking anywhere/everywhere for the follow rest for a Busy Bee B2227L lathe. I have the steady rest but now require this to
support a piece. The follow-on lathe series (CXxxx) equivalent part has (at the least) different fastener spacing. Any leads appreciated.
Thank You

Might be helpful to post a picture of the lathe.

Finding accessories can be a real bear.
 
My experience is the CX708 accessories don't fit the B2227L. I suspect your best bet is to scrounge any similar follow rest and modify your B2227L to fit. That's what I had to do to get a steady rest for my B2227L.

honestly hunting exact B2227L parts rn is brutal. grab the cheaper CX follow rest and just slot the mounting holes or bolt up an adapter plate w/ diff spacing.
