Standard Modern Center Rest

[Dr Stan]

When I bought my Logan about the only thing it did not have that I wanted was a steady rest. Its a 14" swing so I just looked on EBay and found a Chinese one with little to no wear. Took the tailstock off so I could get dimensions on the Vee and simply made an adapter plate. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it was way less than what material would have cost. I also added roller bearings to replace the bronze tips.

I used it to stub a motor shaft and was quite pleased with myself.
