I have a 5" Boxford AUD, the fixed steady it came with is for a 4 1/2"
lathe.

Does such a thing exist as a 1/2" thick pad that has male and female 'Vee's
to fit the bedways so that it can be used to raise the centreline?

Alternatively, if anyone has a 4 1/2" lathe and a 5" steady we could do an
exchange.

Bugger! I had a 5" steady, but fleabayed it a couple of months ago
'cos I have the opposite problem (4 1/2" lathe). May be interested in
the 4 1/2" steady if you decide to sell it.

Ian,
I have been asking myself that question recently. I don't have a
steady at all and the ones that come up for sale always seem to be for
4.5".
May I suggest you ask the question on
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoxfordLathe-UserGroup/messages as well
although they are a knowledgeable lot on here too.
Roy
