Those CNC lathes must have bloody big manuals to need a steady that size. Couldn't they print them on smaller pages?? Fixed or travelling steady? |

Fixed, ish. Has a separate powered carriage for the steady. Nothing like a travelling steady you'd attach to the carriage of a manual lathe. They're used like a fixed steady though you don't move them as the cut advances. The first job they loaded onto it weighed more than the maximum allowed mass of the van I drove up there! ![]()

That's pretty chunky. I'd assumed from the size of the steady that they would be machining tubular parts. But if they're working from solid that size it's gonna be heavy.

It was a tube, it just had a wall thickness to put a battleships rifles to shame.
