Robust steady rest for 18” lathe

[Jaramiah Severns]

Bought this 18” Robust steady rest for my Laguna 1836 to turn some taller vessels, but ended up upgrading my lathe before I got around to it. Plan on getting one for my new lathe, but need to sell this one first.

Paid $595 from Craft Supplies. I’d let it go for $350 + shipping. Never even opened the box. You’d get it just as it was sent to me.

Shoot me a DM with questions or for more info.

I almost pulled the trigger till I saw I needed the 20” size. Great deal.

Alan, would this work fine with a 2" riser? I think the center works, only downside is a slightly smaller capacity at max.

It is a good deal!

I believe you would only need a 1" riser or spacer to center the 18" circle on the 20" capacity lathe. Add an Aluminum block, if you find you need the capacity.
