South Bend SB1084 Metal Lathe Accessories 28-1/2" Steady Rest New

The South Bend SB1084 is a 28-1/2-inch steady rest designed to support long or flexible workpieces during turning operations on a metal lathe. Built from cast iron, it helps keep material centered and stable so you can machine with greater control and consistency.

Its three adjustable jaws provide steady support to reduce bending and vibration, making it useful for deeper cuts as well as drilling, boring, and threading. The top half swings out of the way for easier workpiece changes, and the handwheel-adjusted jaws allow precise positioning.

This accessory is intended for machinists and shops using compatible Big Bore lathes who need added support for longer stock or demanding metalworking tasks. It is a practical addition for improving accuracy and stability when working on larger or more delicate pieces.
