Now you can download DXF files and 3D models in STL format for carving on your CNC machine!
These models can be combined end to end or top to bottom and even scaled (within limits) to create a wide range of carvings for your projects.
If you like these files, check out my book: “Beginner’s Guide to CNC Machining in Wood” from Fox Chapel Publishing.
Lathe Steady Rest DXF Fles
Lathe Steady Rest DXF Fles
This ZIP file contains the .dxf files for cutting your own steady rest to fit your lathe.
It includes drawings for rests with centers at 5,6,7,8,9,10 and 12” form the bed, so your lathe is probably in here.
No plans per se, but there is a part drawing and hardware list included. For instructions see the video on our CNC page.
