So, did you buy a steadyrest for your Jet Mini and find you never use it? Want to get rid of it? Looking to buy or trade before I buy a new one to use a couple of times then put on the shelf (like you did!). PM if interested!
Thanks
 
Jon, I am blonde so am I am wondering which one that are interested in? Is the steady rest the one from WC? I may have one of those.
 
I don't have the one for the mini lathe, but I do have one that
someone made me for a South Bend 9A (which I no longer have)
It is mostly the same, just about 1/4" short so it would need to
be shimmed. Not open on the sides like the WC rest, this one
is a full circle. It's brand new, just a bit dusty. But if you ever
need to put it on a South Bend, it already has the notch for the
ways. Might be more than you're looking for, though.

Whichever you do, look into changing out those metal rollers
for something softer that won't mar the wood. Roller skate
wheels would be idea, but to big for that rest.. something along
those lines would work great though.
