Using the Follow Rest
The follow rest in Figure 26 is mounted on the saddle and 
follows the movement of the tool. The 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 during cutting.

Using the Steady Rest
The steady rest serves as a support for long shafts. The 
steady rest can be placed anywhere along the length of 
the ways. 
To use the steady rest, do these steps:
1.  Carefully place the steady rest on the lathe bedways.
2.  Loosen the finger lock nuts so the finger position can 
be adjusted (see Figure 25).
3.  Insert the workpiece, and support it with the chuck 
and the tailstock.
4.  Position the steady rest along the workpiece where 
desired. Tighten the steady rest lock nut (see Figure 
25
) to secure the steady rest in place.
5.  Turn the adjustment knobs so the fingers are snug 
against the workpiece and then tighten the finger 
lock nuts.
