Grizzly G9249 owner manual Follow Rest, Cross Slide, Handwheel Dial Increments

Follow Rest

The follow rest shown in Figure 44 is mounted on the front of the saddle and follows the movement of the tool along the length of the workpiece. The follow rest is used on long, slender parts to pre- vent flexing of the workpiece from the pressure of the cutting tool. The follow rest requires only two fingers as the cutting tool acts as the third.

The follow rest is installed/removed with two cap screws at the base. The fingers are set against the workpiece in the same manner as those of the steady rest. Always lubricate the finger tips with an anti-seize grease during operation.

The cross slide graduated dial is a "direct read" dial. The actual distance the cross slide moves is

1⁄2 of the dial reading, but removes the amount the dial indicates from the diameter of the workpiece.
