3.
Loosen clamp knob that secures top half of
the steady rest, and open top, as shown in
Figure 52.
Figure 52. Example of workpiece mounted in
steady rest.
4. Loosen three jam nuts and three set screws
so finger positions can be adjusted.
5. Use finger adjustment knobs to position
bottom two fingers so they barely touch
workpiece, as shown in Figure 52.
6. Close steady rest and secure with clamp
knob, then use finger adjustment knobs
to adjust all finger tips so they just touch
workpiece without causing deflection.
Note: The finger tips should properly support
the workpiece along the spindle centerline
while still allowing it to freely rotate.
7.
Tighten set screws and jam nuts to secure
settings.
Note: To reduce the effects of friction, lubri-
cate the fingers with anti-seize lubricant dur-
ing operation.

Follow Rest

The follow rest mounts to the saddle with two
cap screws (see Figure 53). 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.
Tip: To reduce the effects of friction, lubricate the
finger tips with generous amounts of anti-sieze
lubricant during operation.
