Hi group.


I am trying to ID a steady rest and a collet closer that I picked up
Does anyone know what machine these will fit?
I am trying to describe them for sale on Ebay.

based on my research to date, it belongs to a South Bend and may be
called a "telescopic steady" but I cannot figure out what size lathe it
belongs to.

The base has "SR 101T" stamped into it
It will pass something 3.75" through itself.
From the center of the inverted v to the near edge of the opposite flat
measures 4.10"
From the center of the inverted V to the far edge of the opposite flat
measures 5.60"
From the plane of the flat way to the lathe center is approximately
6.5"

The collet closer is clearly for a South Bend, but again, which
model/size?

The overall length is 22-13/16"
lenght from threaded end to first shoulder is 18-7/8"
Length from threaded end to second shoulder is 20-1/2"
through hole is 1.10" in diameter

Stamped into the area between the second and third shoulder is "HWC
104T"

looking forward to your responses,
and thanks for looking.

Sounds like a steady for a 13" SB. There may be a number that
looks like PT.... someplace on the thing...
