4.

of steady rest, and open top, as shown in
Figure 47.
5. Use finger adjustment knobs to position
bottom two fingers so they barely touch
workpiece, as shown in Figure 47.
Figure 47. Example of workpiece mounted in
steady rest.
6. Close steady rest, secure with clamp knob,
and 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 locking set screws to secure settings.
Note: To reduce the effects of friction, lubri-
cate the fingers with anti-seize lubricant, such
as Grizzly Model T23962 ISO Moly-D Way
Oil (see Accessories on Page 57 for more
information) during operation.

Follow Rest

The follow rest mounts to the saddle and supports
the workpiece near the cutting tool to prevent
deflection from the pressure of the cutting tool.
The follow rest fingers adjust in the same manner
as the fingers on the steady rest.
Tip: To reduce the effects of friction, lubricate the
finger tips with generous amounts of anti-sieze
lubricant during operation.
