    Default Lathe Fixed Steady - Harrison M300

    I have a M250, but some time ago at an auction I picked up a fixed steady that 'looked' like it might fit.
    But alas, too big, so I imported the raw casings for a M250 steady from the UK, with the intention of stripping the purchased one of its hardware to use when I machined up the casting.

    My recent work on a Ryobi Linisher caused me to borrow a genuine M250 steady from a friend, allowing comparisons to be made.
    The genuine M250 and unknown steadies have identical hardware.
    So, I now have a set of hardware, and a stripped casting for what is obviously (to me) a M300 fixed steady.

    The stripped M300 casting is available for $190, the cost of my M250 casting.
    I can assist the purchaser with full details of the hardware, or an inspection in Kingswood if desired.
    The photo shows the stripped casting set on the left, the genuine M250 on the right.
