Steady rests are an essential accessory for turning machines during the manufacture of slim shaft type workpieces, which under the influence of cutting loads become unstable with a liability to bend or deflect. Without the use of steady rests the physical properties are not maintained and problems of concentricity and surface finish (chatter) become apparent.
LMC/Atling’s patented design of the precise machined angle on the roller levers gives us
far superior performance of uniform clamping force throughout the clamping range of
each steady. The patented angular lever design varies only 7% in grip force over the
complete gripping range versus 37% variation for competitive models. This unique
design not only delivers better quality grip force but also offers a smaller footprint versus
competitive models.
