5.Close the steady rest and tighten the lock knob.
6.Loosen the three leaf screws. Without causing any deflection in the workpiece, use the finger adjustment knobs to position the finger rollers against the workpiece.
7.Tighten the leaf screws.
Note: The finger rollers should properly support the workpiece but allow it to freely rotate.
Follow Rest
The follow rest mounts to the saddle with two cap screws (Figure 77). It is used on long, slender parts to prevent workpiece flexing from the pressure of the cutting tool during operation. Adjust the fingers on the follow rest in the same manner as those on the steady rest. To avoid marring, make sure to keep the contact surface well oiled during turning operations.

Compound Slide
The compound slide handwheel has an indirect- read graduated collar. This means that the distance shown on the scale represents the actual distance the tool moves, which will remove twice as much material from the diameter of the workpiece. The base of the compound slide has another graduated collar used for setting the tool to a specific angle.
To set the compound slide at a certain angle:
1.Loosen the two hex nuts at the base of the compound slide (1 of 2 shown in Figure 78).
