Steady Rest
The steady rest serves as a support for long
shafts (length to diameter ratio of 3:1 or greater).
The steady rest can be placed anywhere along
the length of the workpiece.
To install/use the steady rest:
1.
With a helper, carefully place the steady
rest on the lathe bedways so the triangular
notch fits over the angled portion of the rear
bedway.
2.
Loosen the three thumb knobs so the finger
positions can be adjusted (see
Figure 35
).

Position the steady rest where desired.
Tighten the hex nut at the base of the steady
rest to secure it in place.
5.
Close the steady rest so that the workpiece is
inside the fingers and tighten the hand knob.
6.
Set fingers snug to the workpiece and secure
by tightening the three thumb knobs. Fingers
should be snug and allow rotational move-
ment of the workpiece. Lubricate the finger
bearings with oil during operation.
3.
Loosen the hand lock knob and open the
steady rest so a workpiece can fit inside of
the fingers (see
Figure 36
).
