Hi all, hope this is in the right spot! I have an sl-3 mori lathe that we are using to make some longer parts with. these are about 1" in dia. I've run and programmed cnc lathes before, but never been involved with a steady rest. This will be for production @ approx 100 pcs/per part. Can anyone give any advice/sources for a steady rest? TIA, and let me know if I'm in the wrong place!    |

| Long time ago I run a CNC lathe with one of these follower rests, turning tapered gun barrels. Don't remember having many problems with it. http://www.smwsystems.com/Chucks/Stehome.htm They are kind of proud of them, but we were doing thousands of barrels per month. http://www.smwsystems.com/Chucks/Prices/omnirest.htm |
