Must have accesory
Turning balluster spindles of any length you must have this. It works as it should and does not mar the material in any way.

Great Lathe Addition
This item is for a "Delta" lathe, but the clamp block is for a 1-1/2" spacing, and my Delta 46-460 has a spacing of 1-1/4". I rectified this little problem with my grinder and a good file. Maybe not perfect, but works fine. Otherwise this steady is built like a tank! Very sturdy. The wheels on mine are actually improved from those shown in the photos.

works great
Very sturdy...great support for a long spindle. The only complaint I have is that the instructions say that it has wing nuts for adjustments...mine came with regular hex nuts...will be replacing them soon. Otherwise, great product!

More effective than I anticipated
I used this primarily to stabilize the free end of a turning that was held in a chuck. It worked great for drilling a core thru the cylinder and for stabilizing the free end while turning a finial or tenon.
