Steadies for lathes comprar nuevos y usados

Steady rests are devices for lathes that are used to support long or thin workpieces during machining. They are also referred to as tailstocks or support blocks and are particularly useful for increasing the rigidity of workpieces during machining and reducing deformation or vibration. Steady rests usually consist of a base body that is attached to the lathe and one or more supporting elements that hold the workpiece during machining. There are several types of steady rests, such as fixed steady rests, traveling steady rests and open steady rests. The choice of the correct steady rest depends on the type of workpiece, the machining operation and the lathe. Fixed steady rests are used to support and hold the workpiece in a specific location, while traveling steady rests travel with the workpiece and provide additional stability during machining. Open steady rests have an opening to allow the workpiece to pass through while being supported. It is important to set and position the steady rests correctly to ensure effective and safe machining. An incorrectly adjusted steady rest can cause damage to the workpiece or lathe and affect machining quality.
