I was refered to this forum from the South Bend Lathe forum. I have acquired an old steady rest that does not fit my South Bend 9" lathe. It seems to be for a lathe with a 12" swing.
This steady rest has two "V" grooves on the bottom to align it. This is very different from the usual one groove and one flat steady rests that I have seen.
Also, the top half of this steady rest is made of cast brass (or bronze, but I think brass)and the bottom half is cast iron. it is missing the clamp, but that would be an easy fabrication.
Thanks for any help that you guys can provide.
