The OneWay Bowl Steady Rest is designed to reduce vibration at the rim of a
bowl or platter, thus making turning safer and easier. Even the best lathes
cannot stop vibration inherent in the wood, caused by wood flexing. The Bowl
Steady's neoprene, ball-bearing wheels reduce vibration, allowing smoother
finished projects. Adjustment is easy, just align with the lathe's center,
squeeze the scissors-like tension arms and tighten down on the wing-nut.
