  Close the steady rest and tighten the lock 

knob. 

  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.

Tighten the leaf screws.

 The finger rollers should properly support 

the workpiece but allow it to freely rotate.

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.

  Rotate the compound slide to the desired 

angle, as indicated by the scale at the base, 
then retighten the two hex nuts.

 If setting up to cut external right-hand inch 

or metric threads, or left-hand internal 
threads for the first time, set the compound 
so its travel is perfectly parallel with the 
cross slide. Using a protractor, rotate the 
compound 29.5° counterclockwise and mark 
the new location on the compound slide. This 
mark will be the quick reference point for 
setting the offset angle. To mark for internal 
right-hand threads, or left-hand external 
threads, repeat this process, but rotate the 
compound 29.5° clockwise and mark the 
cross slide accordingly.

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.

  Loosen the two hex nuts at the base of the 

compound slide (1 of 2 shown in Figure 78).
