The follow rest in =`^li\)+ is mounted on the front of the carriage directly above the ways and follows the movement of the tool. The follow rest requires only two fingers, as the cutting tool acts as the third. The follow rest is used on long, slender parts to prevent flexing of the workpiece from the pressure of the cutting tool.

The sliding fingers are set similar to those of the steady rest—free of play but not binding. Always lubricate during operation. After prolonged use, the fingers will need to be milled or filed to clean up the contact surface.
