I'm with you on the new ideas, I have not been in the shop for a while as I don't have a project. I have been learning Fusion though. :HaHa :HaHa

Looks like this guy copies the design and is selling a working model. Little work in Fusion or other CAD program could come up with a metal one to be using on a rotary pipe steady rest.

Tom - maybe use Fusion 360 to design your next 3D printed part. Learning Fusion 360 is in itself a pretty good project. We talked about using Fusion 360 to do pipe copes. You were talking about adding pipe cutting to your cnc plasma table. Maybe incorporate one of these steady rests (self centering chuck) into your design.

There is a chance I will do that, time will tell. With many projects I like to hash things out in my mind before any real action. I try looking at things from different angles, reduces the woops factor. :HaHa :HaHa :HaHa
