Someone makes on that just mounts to the toolpost.

I've been going to buy a follow rest for my 10EE. I spotted this one on

It mounts right where I put my X axis DRO scale. Don't want to move that.

Has anyone built their own follow rest? Any details to watch out for? Can I
just use the brass guide out of the steady rest for the support piece?

One final question, I've never used one. Had trouble with part deflection on
a high L/D part last winter, will it solve this problem?
