To set the steady rest:
1.Loosen three hex socket cap screws.
2.Loosen knurled screw and open sliding fingers until the steady rest can be moved with its fingers around the workpiece. Secure the steady rest in position.
3.Set the fingers snugly to the workpiece and secure by tightening three hex socket cap screws. Fingers should be snug but not overly tight. Lubricate sliding points with
Follow Rest
The traveling follow rest (N, Figure 11) is mounted on the saddle and follows the movement of the turning tool. Only two fingers are required as the place of the third is taken by the turning tool. The follow rest is used for turning operations on long, slender workpieces. It prevents the workpiece from flexing under the pressure of the cutting tool.
The sliding fingers are set similar to the steady rest, free of play, but not binding. Always lubricate adequately with
