What kind of lathe has V-flat ways rails with 80 degree V angle?- Photo
Yep in the drop box.
I suspect it is a Logan or a Sheldon.
I have a Logan made (From Scott) center for my Sheldon.
My guess it is Sheldon from color, but heavy weight machines
have strong parts.
That is a nice and heavy looking one.
If the V matches yours - and the dimensions fit - might be good.
But that has been in the database for many years.

posted on 14 June 2013 to RCM, I asked if anybody could identify a
steady rest with 80-degree included angle Vee-flat ways. I now have a
photo and description posted on the metalworking dropbox. (The owner
doesn't want the real URL published, to keep spam down.)
Google on Mystery_Steady_Rest.
The filenames are "Mystery_Steady_Rest.txt" and ~.jpg.
