Using the Steady Rest

The steady rest serves as a support for long shafts. The steady rest can be placed anywhere along the length of the ways.

To use the steady rest, do these steps:

1.Carefully place the steady rest on the lathe bedways.

2.Loosen the finger lock nuts so the finger position can be adjusted (see Figure 25).

3.Insert the workpiece, and support it with the chuck and the tailstock.

4.Position the steady rest along the workpiece where desired. Tighten the steady rest lock nut (see Figure 25) to secure the steady rest in place.

5.Turn the adjustment knobs so the fingers are snug against the workpiece and then tighten the finger lock nuts.

The follow rest in Figure 26 is mounted on the saddle and follows the movement of the tool. The rest requires only two fingers, as the cutting tool acts as the third.

The follow rest is used on long, slender parts to prevent flexing of the workpiece during cutting.
