Mini selfcentering stady rest

[dk0Participant @dk0]

For turning small diameters on small lathes, I designed a mini self-centering steady rest.
The clamping capacity ranges from 1 to 12.7 mm in diameter with a centering accuracy of 0.02 mm.
The external dimensions are 44 x 56 x 10 mm thick.
This device can be mounted on lathes such as: Schaublin 70/102, Myford, Boley, Emco, etc.
What are your thoughts on its use? Thank you.

This is the prototype of mini selfcentering stady rest with the demo/adapter bracket

for the lathe Schaublin 102 !

Michael,
