I have just been given this steady and told that it came of a WARCO lathe – model unknown. I have compared it to the fixed steady belonging to my BH600G which is 6" (150mm) centre height and it looks a little smaller. My guess is that it fits on a lathe of around 5" centre height or thereabouts.

Does anyone know which model it is meant to fit?

Looks like the one on my WMT 300. Was used on the WMT300/1 and /2. Has a 6" centre height, but as the cross slide was used for milling, it's a bit thicker than normal.

Regards

Richard

Thanks for that Richard. If you get a minute could you measure the approx distance from the tip of the brassy noses to the centre of the fixing holes for me? I make it about 144mm. Thanks in advance.

As the Warco is the combi machine, it'll also fit a Clarke CL500, CL430, Sealey SM27 etc.. But not the Chester Model B where the centre height is bigger.

Regards

Richard.
