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 lock knobs so the finger position can be adjusted (see Figure 32).

3.Loosen the clamp knob (see Figure 32) and open the steady rest so a workpiece can fit inside of the fin- gers.

4.Position the steady rest where desired. Tighten the lock nut (see Figure 32) at the base of the steady rest to secure in place.

5.Close the steady rest so that the workpiece is inside the fingers and tighten the clamp knob.

6.Turn the adjustment knobs so the fingers are snug against the workpiece and then tighten the lock knobs. Lubricate the finger tips with an anti-seize lubricant during operation.

7.After prolonged use, the fingers will show wear. Either mill or file the tips for a new contact surface.

OPERATIONS

The follow rest in Figure 33 is mounted on the saddle and follows the movement of the tool. The follow 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 from the pressure of the cutting tool.

The sliding fingers are set similar to those of the steady rest—free of play but not binding. Always lubricate during operation. After prolonged use, the fingers will need to be milled or filed to clean up the contact surface.
