Our steady rest rings are crafted from steel, either 3/8″ thick or 1/4″ thick. They are made from 3″ x 2″ angle iron, ensuring durability and stability. All bases are wrap around design to provide an additional bolt against the lathe body for additional support. Alignment and Attachment Plates for your lathe are included.
The steady arms are made of 1.25″ diameter aluminum and feature a double flat milled section for precise positioning. They are securely held in place by set screws, providing stability during woodworking tasks. We now include aluminum thumb screws so a wrench is not needed. Setscrews are included as well.
You can customize your steady rest based on your lathe’s swing size, color, and number of arms and positions to optimize performance for your specific woodworking needs. In addition we have a Booster so a small steady can be used on a larger lathe. There is also a 1/4″ thick option to create a lighter weight version of the steady rests. Let us know if you would like a version with more positions than arm. The Robust version comes with a spanner brace to engage the wraparound bolt since this lathe does not have a place for contact.
