Thanks Leo. I've dealt with Penn State previously, and no longer even read
their ads. Long story, but they are one vendor from which I will not make
any more purchases.

And you are right - for $50, I can make my own.

Hi Tim

Penn state has a steady for a mini lathe, though the price is not mini
IMO.
At $49.95 plus shipping cost, I would make one myself.
Just have a look

Have fun and take care

I still have my first lathe given to me by my parents decades ago.
Recently, I had need of a steady rest, and picked one up at the local
Woodcrafter's store only to find out that a steady rest built for a 12"
lathe doesn't fit a 10" lathe - DUH!

So I've been on the hunt for a smaller version, and have not been
successful
so far. Other than building one from scratch, are there any other
sources
where I might find one for my smaller lathe?

I also feel like I should put a bumper sticker on the smaller lathe: My
other lathe is a 16". And I do have a home made steady rest for it.

Thanks
Tim
