I am interested in acquiring an inexpensive steady or possibly follower rest for an atlas-craftsman 12 inch metalworking lathe. Although I have seen several for sale through ebay and other places, I am interested to know if there are other brands that are compatible with the ways, etc. of this lathe. In other words, what other options are available? I am also open to building one of my own if anyone has any thoughts or ideas about this possibility. It would be much easier if I had pictures and/or measurements of a stock one to work from. Thanks in Advance, Woodworker88 Los Altos High School "Eagle Strike" Robotics Team
