Follow Rest
The traveling follow rest (F, Fig.12) is mounted on
the saddle and follows the movement of the turn tool.
Only two fingers are required as the place of the third
is taken by the turning tool. The follow rest is used
for turning operations on long, slender workpieces. It
prevents flexing of the workpiece from the pressure
of the cutting tool.
The sliding fingers are set similar to the steady rest,
free of play, but not binding. Always lubricate with
Mobil DTE®
Oil Heavy Medium.
