South Bend SB1082 Metal Lathe Accessories 20" Steady Rest New

The South Bend SB1082 is a 20-inch steady rest designed to support long, thin, or flexible workpieces during lathe operations. Made from cast iron, it helps keep material stable and properly aligned while turning, drilling, boring, or threading.

Its three adjustable jaws provide firm, precise contact to reduce bending and vibration, making it easier to take heavier cuts with better control. The top half swings out of the way for faster workpiece changes without disturbing the setup, and the jaw wheels allow fine adjustment.

This accessory is made for machinists and shops using compatible South Bend Big Bore lathes who need added support for larger or more challenging projects. It is a practical addition for improving accuracy and stability when working with extended stock.
