Steady Rest & Follow Rest

[G-ManBart]

I have the square top. I think they went to this style in the very early 70's.
Both styles are excellent lathes. I have the rainbow dials to adjust speeds.

That's probably the difference. When I was researching which rest I had a gent in the UK said it was for a round top Colchester, so there must have been a change. No doubt both are great machines!

I'll start by saying that I just saw this, and now I feel terrible!

I recently bought a Clausing 6913 that came with two steady rests, and one was actually for a 15" Clausing Colchester, so I cleaned it up and sold it on eBay...only lasted two days because I priced it pretty reasonably (or so I thought). I did take a couple of decent pictures, so hopefully they'll help a bit.

Thanks for the pictures. That looks like the one I need.

There's one on eBay now...it's not perfect, but looks to be solid. The guy didn't know what he had, and it was listed for a long time. I happened to see it and sent him a note telling him what he had....seemed nice enough. You might be able to make him an offer.
