Precision-Machined Rollomatic Steady Rest Bases
Engineered for Rollomatic GrindSmart® Stability
4140 Pre-Hardened Steel (28-32 HRC)
- We start with premium 4140 PH to ensure every base we ship is "stress-free." This eliminates the warping common with post-machining heat treat, ensuring your setup stays true for the life of the machine.
Zero-Tolerance Mounting
- Every surface is precision-machined at Armstrong Machine Tool to ensure perfect perpendicularity. Our bases provide a rigid, vibration-dampening foundation that is essential for high-aspect-ratio tool grinding.
Drop-In Replacement
- Designed as a direct-fit solution for the Rollomatic series. No modifications to your machine bed are required—simply swap and maintain your sub-micron tolerances.
The "Armstrong" Precision Standard
Superior Harmonic Control
- Standard mild steel or cast bases can't match the vibration-dampening properties of our 4140 Pre-Hardened alloy. By absorbing machine harmonics at the source, our Steady Rest Bases protect your grinding wheels from premature wear and ensure a superior surface finish on every tool blank.
Professional Black Oxide Finish
- Every Steady Rest Base is available with a high-durability Black Oxide conversion coating. This industrial finish provides an extra layer of protection against the high-pressure oils and synthetic coolants used in Rollomatic machines. It also minimizes surface glare during setup, making it easier for your operators to verify tool alignment and 3-point contact.
Sault Ste. Marie Proud: American-Made Accuracy
- At Armstrong Machine Tool, we don't 'mass-produce'—we precision-manufacture. Each Steady Rest Base is inspected to meet or exceed OEM specifications. We provide the local, reliable support that high-production grinding shops need to keep their spindles turning without downtime.
