Steady Rest for MIDI lathes (12" swing)
The steady rest is made with high quality baltic birch and not the stuff from the big box stores. This will fit most MIDI lathes that have a 12” to 12.5” swing such as the Jet 1221, Laguna 12|16, and Rikon 70-150VSR. It uses 70mm 82a inline roller skate wheels. The hinged design allows you to attach it to the lathe without removing your workpiece.
I personally use this on my Jet 1221. You can see me using the v1 version of this steady rest here.
Curious how I build them? Check out these videos: v1, v2
If you just need the plans and can make one yourself, go here.
Note: these are build to order and requires a 1 to 2 week lead time.
If you are interested in a larger version of this, please contact me.
