4. Loosen the clamp knob that secures the two
halves of the steady rest and open the top
portion, as shown in Figure 55.
5. Loosen the jam nuts and set screws so the
finger roller positions can be adjusted.
6.
Use the finger adjustment knobs to posi-
tion the bottom two finger rollers against the
workpiece, as shown in Figure 55.
7.
Close the steady rest, then use the finger
adjustment knobs to adjust all three finger
rollers so that they just touch the workpiece
without causing deflection.
Note: The finger rollers should properly sup-
port the workpiece along the spindle center-
line while still allowing it to freely rotate.
8.
Lock the fingers with the set screws and jam
nuts, then tighten the clamp knob.
Tip: To reduce the effects of friction, lubricate
the fingers with way oil during operation.
Figure 55. Example of workpiece mounted in the
steady rest.
The follow rest mounts to the saddle with two
cap screws (see Figure 56). 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.
Note: To reduce the effects of friction, lubricate
the fingers with way oil during operation.
