Modified steady rest - lumby BC

[justin1]

I saved a modified steady rest from getting scrapped. It's no use to me was gonna see if it could be of use to someone.

Free to good home can ship if you cover cost.

About 5.25" ish

If @quitereal doesn’t grab it I’d like to give it a new home. I think it’d look right at home on my Standard Modern. No need for the extra steel either.

Crazy, that looks like a PA price tag on it!

Ye it is a PA tag lol and he hasn't pmed about wanting it so your basiclly first inline.

Also corner has been milled off but should be ok still but may need some rework but easy enough to braze material on or even just drill and tap chunk back on

Super! I’ll catch up with you on PMs tomorrow WRT details about getting it here.

I would imagine any mods would be less involved than making one from scratch which was what I was contemplating.

Thanks for offering it up to the group, can’t say enough about the good people here!

Go for it, i was just curious, sometimes i wish the manufacturer would stamp the thing so a guy would know what it came off. Ive got two that were modified to fit mine.

Funny about the modded steadies, I wonder if that’s what happened to the original ones for my lathe……
