Lathe steady rest roller fingers?
I've gone long enough without roller fingers on my steady rest for my South Bend 9". Getting materials together to build my own, I do plan to use these with both tapered barrels as well as straight bull barrels so I'm not sure how wide of a bearing I should go with or if I should build 2 sets, one with thinner bearings for tapered barrels and one with sturdier Cam followers for the bull barrels?
Any insight on what direction to go would be good, Right now I only know I should go with 1/4" bore and about 5/8's OD or so.
