Follow Rest

The follow rest mounts to the saddle with two hex bolts (see Figure 61). 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 finger tips with generous anti-sieze lubricant during operation.
