Colchester Mascot Fixed Steady – Precision Support for Lathe Workpieces

The Colchester Mascot Fixed Steady is a robust and reliable steady rest designed to support long, slender, or hard-to-hold workpieces during turning operations on bench and centre lathes. Built to fit Colchester Mascot machines and similar conventional lathes, this stationary three-point support helps improve machining accuracy and reduce deflection under load.

Key Features & Benefits

• Heavy-Duty Construction – Built from rugged cast and machined steel components, this steady rest offers long service life and solid stability under cutting forces.

• Three-Point Support Design – Three adjustable pads gently cradle the workpiece, reducing vibration and run-out for improved surface finishes.

• Enhanced Workpiece Control – Ideal for long shafts, tubes or bars, keeping components supported between the chuck and tailstock for more accurate turning, facing and threading.

• Simple Adjustments – Each support pad is individually adjustable, allowing fine-tuning to suit a wide range of diameters and profiles.

• Versatile Lathe Accessory – A practical addition to any shop using Colchester Mascot or comparable manual lathes, especially when tackling jobs where workpiece rigidity is critical.

Perfect For

• Precision jewellery, engineering, and fabrication workshops

• Hobby machinists requiring stable and repeatable turning results

• Production environments where minimised workpiece deflection improves throughput and quality

Whether you’re tackling longer workpieces or looking for better control during heavy cuts, this fixed steady enhances your lathe’s capability with dependable workpiece support.
