removing rings, you can accommodate various sizes of work. The main function is to
steady non-round [square] stock that is being turned. The steady has a tool that cuts
the stock to a diameter to suit the ring selected and holds the job securely for the
copy tool to cut. The rings are mounted in a bearing that enables the rings to rotate
with the job.
The second steady is mounted directly onto the guide
rails. It can be moved along
the guide rails and clamped in position. The steady has three bearings that are
adjustable to suit the diameter of the job.

from Laguna Tools.

guidelines.
1. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance all round the machine, as you will

2. Adequate lighting. The better the lighting, the more accurately and safely you

3. Solid floor. You should select a solid flat floor, preferably of concrete or
