Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Aurora D. ★★★★★

Installed these on my steady rest and the ball bearings spin much smoother than the original solid fingers. Really cuts down on friction when turning longer pieces.

David C. ★★★★★

These bearings fit perfectly into my steady rest – the ball bearing design makes the follower glide so much smoother than the old setup. A simple upgrade that made a noticeable difference in my turning projects.

Leo W. ★★★★★

Exactly what I needed to upgrade my steady rest — the ball bearings spun smoothly right out of the box, and the fit was precise. Installed all three in under 20 minutes.
