Follow Rest
The follow rest mounts to the saddle with two
cap screws (see Figure 63). 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 brass finger tips with generous lubricant
during operation.

Rest Locks
The carriage and compound rest have locks that
can be tightened to provide additional rigidity
during operation, especially during heavy cuts.
