Gene,
learning from the experience from machining in our shop, I made my (own private) steady rest with small ball bearings right from the beginning (and also the moving rest which can be bolted to the carriage). They also cause some minor traces on the workpieces, but these can be polished away.

Greetings all;

My steady rest has steel sliders, which will not do for working on
finished parts.  So I need to order a foot of 1/2x1" brass or copper to
make some more better shoes.

Which will do the least damage to a pre-finished part, such as the fairly
high polished SS barrel?  Brass or copper?

Thanks everybody.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
