So, yeah, that. I've never seen one for sale separately, so I've been thinking about how to end up with one or both.
It seems like making one shouldn't be that hard, starting with a big piece of aluminum plate and going to town with a mill. As much as I'd like to do that, has anyone found a different brand lathe where its steady rest will drop right onto a TSL-lathe? I'm asking because it's likely that the TSL lathes were "modeled" or even copied from some other lathe, hence my question. I know it's a stretch, but knowing the answer helps justify the decision in either direction.
