1/2’’ and not more than 3’’.
To remove the Live Center, back the
2.
tailstock barrel all the way into the
casting. The Live Center will pop out;
catch it when it comes out to avoid
damaging it.
Steady rest
The steady rest supports long, small 1.

not be turned. The steady rest can
also replace the tailstock to allow for
cutting tool access at the outboard
end of the workpiece.
To mount the Steady Rest, secure the

plate, and use setscrews to secure it
in place.
Follow rest
The follow rest is used with small 1.

piece from ‘’springing’’ under pres-
sure from the turning tool.
The follow rest is secured to the
2.
saddle with two cap screws.
