I have compared it to the fixed steady belonging to my BH600G which is 6" (150mm) centre height and it looks a little smaller. My guess is that it fits on a lathe of around 5" centre height or thereabouts. Does anyone know which model it is meant to fit? Rik Edited By Rik Shaw on 27/05/2018 13:29:39
