Not great

This steady isn't that steady. The arms holding the bearings are a bit insusbstantial. The bearings themselves are too small and narrow, and tend to dig into the work. There is too much vibration. The casting is the best bit of the tool. It would be good to see Axminster selling a really effective steady with strong arms and rubber wheels which minimise vibration in the work. i ended up making my own from roller blade wheels and birch ply, works much better than this one.
