R.I.P. Series 400

The Rest in Piece 400 series steady rest is a single adjust design. One turn of the handle and all three rollers come in to center your part. The photo shows a steady rest designed for a slant bed lathe, but it can be designed to fit applications from flatbed CNCs to manual lathes. The design allows for a wide range of sizes and the rigidity needed to produce excellent finishes.
The R.I.P. Series 400 is designed by Schmidt Tool & Manufacturing to meet the demands of modern manufacturing environments, from high-tech slant bed lathes to the most reliable manual lathes. Contact us for more information.
