Re: Can anyone identify this mystery steady rest?
Returning to the original question, does anybody have any ideas on what make of lathe this may have come with?

Re: Can anyone identify this mystery steady rest?
Thanks for resizing the picture. I don't have an app that can do the resize, which I have not had reason to do before. Most forums require pics to be 100K or smaller so the viewer doesn't have to scroll the screen sideways which makes the text harder to read. Here's the resizer I have been using, 1...

Anyway, the background pattern is a one inch grid, and the included angle of the Vee is 80 degrees (Clausing uses 70 degrees, and South Bend reportedly uses 90 degrees).

Re: Can anyone identify this mystery steady rest?
Joe, It would help a great deal if you'd provide the link to the drop box. Many of these guys have no clue how to find it (I'm one of them!) I didn't because the metalworking dropbox owner doesn't want the URL posted in machine readable form, to mitigate spam. If you reread the line containing drop...

Can anyone identify this mystery steady rest?
This steady rest came with a Clausing 5914 that was being parted out, and I bought it for my 5914. While this rest does not look like a Clausing steady rest, and the fit is not exact, it is certainly workable. (Unlike the steady rest that came with my 5914, but looks to be for a larger South Bend.) ...

Re: Kool Mist Problems
Not to hijack the thread but a quick question pertaining to the use of those types of systems - Do you wear a mask when using it? I'd imagine the vapours would be very toxic? They look a whole lot cleaner than a flood coolant system. It is a real problem. My shop would have a visible fog bank after...

Re: Broken Screw
I was using an arbor mounted slitting saw taking 0.050" DOC on a piece of bronze 932. All went well for about the first three inches along the six inch cut. The M8-1.25x12mm screw holding the saw in the arbor broke. McMaster-Carr (my usual source for stuff) doesn't carry them. Bolt Depot does....

Re: Adventures in Flood Cooling --- THE DARK SIDE
I had much the same experience with synthetics (Kool Mist), and switched to Rustlick WS-5050, which works a whole lot better, but it too will eventually go bad. What I think is happening is that some corrosion-prevention component is used up, and/or oxygen from the air is being chemically absorbed. ...
