The three capture wheels adjust to support spindle diameters from about 1/2 inch up to 3 inches.
Yes, you'll need a clamp block sized to match your lathe's bed gap, since the rest slides along a clamp block rather than mounting directly to the lathe bed.
Long spindles are prone to speed wobble, which makes it difficult to get accurate, chatter-free cuts without something countering the vibration and whip.
The sliding base lets you slide the steady rest to whatever point along the spindle needs the most support, rather than fixing it in one spot.
