Description
Original Bernardo fixed steady rest for Hobby 500 — supportable diameter range, see manual mm. Accessory for stabilizing long workpieces during turning. Austrian-made, available from Krollit, official Bernardo distributor since 2007.
- Type: Fixed steady rest
- Workpiece diameter range: range see manual mm
- Compatible with: Hobby 500
What it's for
The fixed steady rest is clamped to the lathe bed in a fixed position and supports the workpiece at a specific point, preventing it from bending under cutting force. It is essential for workpieces with a length-to-diameter ratio greater than 4:1.

Frequently asked questions
What is a steady rest and when is it essential?
A steady rest is a support that is clamped to the lathe bed and supports long or heavy workpieces during machining, preventing bending and vibration. It is essential when the length-to-diameter ratio of the workpiece exceeds 4:1 (for a fixed steady rest) or 10:1 (for a traveling steady rest that accompanies the tool). Without a steady rest, long workpieces will bend under cutting force, producing taper, vibration, and non-cylindrical surfaces.
What is the difference between a fixed steady rest and a traveling (revolving) steady rest?
The fixed steady rest is clamped to the bed in a fixed position and supports the workpiece at a specific point. The traveling steady rest (or follower rest) is clamped to the longitudinal carriage and accompanies the tool during movement — it always supports the workpiece at the same point relative to the tool, eliminating bending during feed. The traveling steady rest is necessary for turning very long workpieces where a fixed steady rest is not sufficient.
Is this steady rest compatible with my Bernardo lathe?
Each Bernardo steady rest is designed for the models indicated in the title. The workpiece diameter range (e.g., 50–590 mm) indicates the workpieces that can be supported. Verify that your lathe model matches the one indicated. Customer support available in Italian.
How do you adjust a steady rest correctly?
The steady rest must be centered with respect to the lathe axis: mount the workpiece between centers, place the jaws of the steady rest on the rectified diameter or on an already turned area (not on the rough material), and adjust the jaws until light contact. Lubricate the jaws with cutting oil or grease to reduce wear. Do not tighten the jaws too much — they should support the workpiece without squeezing it.
