I'm wondering if there would be any interest for a HLV-H steady rest that will handle a 6" dia. ?
After searching for a stock steady rest for my toolroom lathe, I'm realizing it may not be worth the money wanted for the stock 3" capacity.
I have designed a much larger steady rest that would handle a 6" dia. with the same footprint as the Hardinge unit. My concept would consist of weldments that would be stress relieved before grinding bed angles.
My price point would be around $500.
Think true-blue Hardinge fans would go for this?
