Hi Mike,
Do you have a welder to make one up? If not you could bolt one together out of steel.
I picked up a spare fixed and traveling steady for my Chinese lathe and am going to make them both into roller steadies when I get around to it. A couple of skate type bearings will do the job.
Pipeclay had the roller fingers in the for sale section and I think they are also on that Hercus spares website from Sydney to see a picture of them. They would be easy enough to make up.
Dave

rod
Ok thanks for the replies . I have been informed that ENCO in the USA sell the stuff. But it isn't cheap . With postage, a 6 feet length will be around $80 I think. Making up a follow rest ..yes, I spotted steamwhisper's idea of a plate with a bush in it - might be the quick answer . I did get a follow rest with my other lathe , but its too large , the centre height is too high , but I may be able to rig up something using it for a one off job . Mike
