The base of this steady rest has adjustable spacer blocks providing a secure fit on lathe beds. The non-marring wheels has a wide range to move so it can be used as a bowl rest as well as a steady rest. base to top: 400mm. Center height: 155mm Review: Surprisingly solid for an inexpensive steady rest - I've used this for a couple of turning projects now, a 32" broom handle and a longer (20+") tool handle. Steady rests provide additional support in the middle of longer workpieces to reduce or eliminate the inherent problems from longer material flexing during turning. Like another reviewer, I made a simple riser block (stacked & glued two pieces of 1" plywood) to adapt it to my 16" swing lathe. This also required a longer screw handle, and the Kipp M10 90mm adjustable handle (https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B013IYRX5E?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) has worked well for this. There's no undue flex in this steady rest, and everything about it feels well made and has worked as expected. No problems with the wheel bearings, which did include the proper spacers to prevent problems from over-tightening the axle bolts. Review: Recommended!! - I am turning chalices and needed to have better stability when turning the stem and gouging out the cup. This is perfect and less expensive than other brands. If I had one minus, it is the bottom plate. Would rather have the large washer set up like the tail stock and banjo. I may have my son weld me one or I can epoxy two different size washers and be done. Highly recommend. ## Features - This steady rest is compatible with 310mm swing lathe.

Most of them are either flimsy, expensive, or not versatile. This one seemed to have what I was looking for as being made of all steel parts except the guide wheels which are made of tough&nonmarring PU roller skate wheels. The first one I ordered came in within a couple of days and was well packed but had a problem with the frame being not at a right angle. Thanks to Amazon, they sent me a replacement with a free return. The second one was fine with all parts in good condition. It is made in China but seems well machined with all plasma cut steel and powder coated paint. One downside is it is made for a lathe with a 12inch swing which I have to adapt to my 16inch lathe. I had to make a proper raiser block along with adapting the clamping mechanism suited to my lathe bed. It took careful measurements to make all the parts fit my lathe but in the end, it is able to support any stock up to about 6-inch diameter anywhere between centers. The lockdown clamps are a bit awkward to use due to tight spacing but it is not a show stopper. I tried it on a 12"x1/2" spindle and it held it steady to shape the tip which is a good test to see how well the steady rest will hold up in real use where the stock is usually larger. Overall I am quite satisfied with the quality and functionality of this steady rest if you are able to customize the fit specific to your lathe. I am a pretty handy person and can figure things out but it would be helpful if basic instructions were included about how to clamp and support the stock specific to their accessory although there are many good videos on YouTube on this subject ## Frequently Bought Together - Tenfer Woodturning Steady Rest for 12 inch Swing Medium Size Lathe (12'') - ASNOMY 6-11/16Inch Extra Long Forstner Bit Extension for Adding Over 5-3/8 inches of Drilling Depth to Your 2/5" Round or Hex Shafts Forstner Bit - Bosch 2608595422 152 mm Self-Cut Speed Flat Drill Bit Extension --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/367410025-woodturning-steady-rest-for-12-inch-swing-medium-size-lathe](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/367410025-woodturning-steady-rest-for-12-inch-swing-medium-size-lathe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
