    Ball Bearing "pads" on the Sherline steady rest.

    Bill, I used 1/4" square W1 steel bar, as I had some on hand. I used my lathe to turn the ends, make the bearing slot and drill the bearing axle hole. I held the workpiece in the carriage mounted tool holder. Only thing I used the mill for was radiusing the ends (although this could also be...
