Follow Rest
The follow rest mounts to the saddle with two cap screws (see Figure 58). It is used on long, slender parts to prevent workpiece deflection from the pressure of the cutting tool during operation. Adjust the follow rest fingers in the same manner as the those on the steady rest.
Note: To reduce the effects of friction, lubricate the brass finger tips with generous lubricant during operation.

The carriage, cross slide, and compound rest have locks that can be tightened to provide addi- tional rigidity during operation, especially during heavy cuts.
