Steady Rest
The steady rest (E, Fig.12) serves as a support for
shafts on the free tailstock end. The steady rest
mounted on the bed way and secured from below
with a bolt, nut and locking plate. The siding fingers
require continuous lubrication at the contact points
with the work piece to prevent premature wear.
To set the steady rest:
1.
Loosen three hex socket screws.
2.
Loosen knurled screw and open sliding fingers
until the steady rest can be moved with its
fingers around the work piece. Secure the
steady rest in position.
3.
Set the fingers snugly to the work piece and
secure by tightening three hex socket cap
screws. Fingers should be snug but not overly
tight. Lubricate sliding points with Mobil
DTE
®
Oil Heavy Medium.
4.
After prolonged use, the fingers will show
wear. Refill or file the tips of the fingers.
