Description
Original Bernardo fixed steady rest for APOLLO 1600 / APOLLO 2000 — supports diameters 500–1100 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: 500–1100 mm
- Compatible with: APOLLO 1600 / APOLLO 2000
What it's for
The fixed steady rest clamps onto the lathe bed in a fixed position and supports the workpiece at a specific point, preventing deflection 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 clamps onto the lathe bed and supports long or heavy workpieces during machining, preventing bending and vibrations. It is essential when the workpiece's length-to-diameter ratio exceeds 4:1 (for a fixed steady rest) or 10:1 (for a traveling steady rest that moves with the tool). Without a steady rest, long workpieces will deflect under cutting force, producing tapers, vibrations, and non-cylindrical surfaces.
What is the difference between a fixed steady rest and a traveling (revolving) steady rest?
A fixed steady rest clamps onto the bed in a fixed position and supports the workpiece at a specific point. A traveling steady rest (or follower rest) clamps onto the longitudinal carriage and accompanies the tool during movement — it supports the workpiece at the same point relative to the tool, eliminating deflection during feeding. A 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 supported workpieces. Please check 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 the lathe's axis: mount the workpiece between centers, rest the steady rest jaws on a rectified diameter or an already turned area (not on the rough material) and adjust the jaws until light contact is made. Lubricate the jaws with cutting oil or grease to reduce wear. Do not overtighten the jaws — they should support the workpiece without clamping it.
