  Close the steady rest so that the workpiece 

is inside the finger rollers, then tighten the 
lock knob.

  Loosen the three wing bolts so the finger 

roller positions can be adjusted.

 

Use the finger adjustment knobs to 
just touch the finger rollers against the 
workpiece without causing workpiece 
deflection.

  Tighten the three wing bolts.

 The finger rollers should properly support 

the workpiece but allow it to freely rotate.

  Loosen the lock knob and open the steady 

rest so the workpiece can rest on the bottom 
two finger rollers, as shown in Figure 69.

The steady rest supports long shafts and can be 
mounted anywhere along the length of the bed.

  DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

  Thoroughly clean the machined base of 

the steady rest, then place it on the lathe 
bedways so the triangular notch fits over the 
bedway prism.

  Position the steady rest where required to 

properly support the workpiece, then tighten 
the hex nut shown in Figure 68 to secure it 
in place.

The follow rest mounts to the saddle with two 
cap screws (Figure 70). It is used on long, 
slender parts to prevent workpiece flexing from 
the pressure of the cutting tool during operation. 
Adjust the sliding finger rollers on the follow rest 
in the same manner as those on the steady rest.
