14.11 Follow rest adjustment
The follow rest mounts to the saddle with two
socket head cap bolts. The follow rest should be
mounted so that locking knobs point away from
chuck.
The sliding fingers are set similar to those on the
steady rest – free of play, but not binding.
Always lubricate the fingers sufficiently with grease
before operating.
14.12 Carriage stops
Adjust each stop (Figure 32) by loosening two set
screws, and sliding it along the rod. Rotate the stop
so that the raised area is upward to contact the
carriage. Tighten both set screws securely.
Position the raised area downward when the stop
is not being used.
