In the interest of full disclosure - I bought this steady rest knowing it had some problems but thinking I could fix and modify it for a different lathe. Unfortunately it would take major surgery of the base casting to get it to fit. I can’t bring myself to do that to a perfectly good South Bend part. In the meantime I bought a steady that was designed for my lathe so this item is looking for a new home.
The lower casting is stamped PT116T (I think) and has SRD1017 stamped on the bottom...
Fs: South Bend 13" Steady Rest
