    Default Follow Rest

    I have a heavy follow rest that I have no need of. It has a spacing between holes of 340mm and centre height from base is 170mm. One of the adjustment knobs is missing or broken off. Just the shaft there. Should be able fit a new knob fairly easily.

    I have cleared the caravan out of this bay of my implement shed finally and started to rust protect my new lathe bits again. They were sitting on the box that holds my new table saw, not unpacked since november. Now the bay is clear I hope to get the saw into the shed and start cleaning the shed up to make room to move the old lathe and lay slab for new lathe.

    Anyway I decided to ask about this follow rest after I had moved the stuff around so I did not look closely at it. It was dark and the lighting not ideal. If anyone is interested I can provide pictures and more details. I am not concerned about making money but do not want to just throw it out if it can be used.

    Hi Dean,
    I'd be interested in some pics, the Leblond came with a fixed steady but not a traveling.

    Cheers,

    Pictures as promised. The broken knob is plastic and pinned to the shaft. I cleaned up one of the adjustment shafts. Just a wipe with a rag. A picture of the bottom to give an idea on fitting it to another lathe. I will remove the bugs, webs, wasps nests etc.
