Used in manual engine lathes and heavy-duty turning operations, a lathe steady rest in this size class provides fixed workpiece support for long shafts, tubes, and cylindrical stock during turning, boring, and threading operations. This unit features a heavy fabricated steel C-frame body with a hinged upper section secured by a pivot pin and locking bolt, allowing the frame to open for workpiece loading. Three adjustable contact points are fitted with hardened steel studs and cap screws, positioned at approximately 120-degree intervals around the bore opening. The measured bore opening is approximately 12 In. as visible in the provided reference photo. The base plate is a heavy flat steel section with multiple through-holes for mounting to lathe bed ways. The unit has been shop-repainted in teal blue over what appears to be a fabricated steel construction. No manufacturer nameplate, casting marks, or model identification are visible on any surface. The item is offered as an unbranded industrial surplus steady rest suitable for use on a lathe with a matching bed way width and center height. Bed way width, center height, and compatibility must be verified by the buyer prior to use. No rollers are present; contact is made via adjustable steel stud points. Surface corrosion and paint wear visible consistent with prior shop use.
