I might be able to get a mini lathe on the cheap to try out some tip and ferrule replacements. If so it appears I'd need a rest / support for the joint side of the shaft. Do you guys buy these from somewhere or make your own? I don;t really know what they'd be called so I'm not finding much through searching. Thanks!

. you have to get the center height correct tho from the bottom of the table to the center or your lathe

I have the bed of an old sears dunlap lathe set up with the tailstock, so I can move it for different lengths. It was real tricky to get it set up straight but working well once I did.
Years ago before I retired I made a few different kinds for the mini lathe. Simpilest way now is to buy a extra bed.You can put it front or back and you can still use the steady or the tailstock on it.
Steady rest/taig height
This is a steady rest I had made for a college boy in Indiana a few weeks ago I sent him a few Pms but havent gotten a response back Sold

Silly question probably but will any extra bed work and do you connect it to the existing? Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
If you look for a cheaper way out maybe try a pillow block from amazon
Nice thanks!
