Why a Spindle Steady?

Woodturning is all about vibration and how you deal with it. Vibration can become a problem in the following situations:

• spinning out of balance work pieces
• excess play in the spindle bearings
• flexibility of the wood

No matter how good the lathe is that you are turning on, the machine cannot stop vibration caused by flexibility inherent in the wood. Spindle turners have been using steady rests for as long as people have been turning wood, but traditional spindle steady’s tend to be large heavy pieces of equipment which are awkward or cumbersome to use.

The ONEWAY Spindle Steady uses a unique “scissor” clamping mechanism which allows you to move and adjust it a lot more quickly and easily than traditional steady’s.

The Spindle Steady is easy to put on the lathe, and on most lathes can be mounted at any time. It uses up virtually no swing, and most importantly dampens most vibration. With less vibration problems, you can employ a wider variety of cuts and cutting styles to get the finish you want.
