Lathe Steady Rest | 30 in. Bore Opening | Orientation: Axial

A large heavy-duty cast iron engine lathe steady rest with an approximate 30 in. bore opening, as measured in the provided photos. The unit features a swing-top hinged design with four roller-style jaw assemblies positioned at 90-degree intervals around the interior bore ring. The rollers are mounted on adjustable brackets secured with threaded fasteners, allowing the contact points to be positioned for workpieces of varying diameters. The overall frame is a one-piece cast iron construction with a teal painted exterior. Two sets of machined base mounting plates with slotted T-slot patterns are attached to opposite sides of the frame, providing the interface for clamping to a lathe bed. A threaded latch and swing-arm bolt mechanism secures the upper half of the frame when closed. The unit was photographed on a wooden pallet and includes additional steel plate components visible in the images. No manufacturer name, model number, or part number is visible in any of the provided photos. Suitable for buyers seeking a large-bore steady rest for stabilizing long workpieces during turning, threading, or boring operations on large-capacity manual engine lathes.
