A steady rest for a wood lathe
Requires rollerblade or skateboard wheels, 5/8"x2" screws, 5/8" washers, and 5/8" t nuts.
Suggest printing out some 5/8" knobs from this thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2718994
The gcode included is for Mach 3, uses 3/4" (18mm) plywood, and fits a lathe with a 9" swing and a 50mm bed slot. The origin is the bottom left at bed height.
The Fusion 360 file is included, and it's parametric, so you can adjust to fit your lathe.
There's no tolerances, so you may need to sand some parts down afterwards until you get a perfect fit.
