  • Page 22: Steady Rest

    Steady Rest The steady rest on this lathe is used to support long, small diameter stock that otherwise could not be turned. The steady rest can also be used in place of the tailstock when access to the cutting tool is required at the outboard end of the piece part.

  • Page 23: Follow Rest

    Follow Rest The follow rest is typically used for small diameter stock to prevent the piece part from “springing” under pressure from the tool. The follow rests, which are opposite the tool post, act as supports to counter balance the force exerted on the piece part by the tool. The tool and the supports form a triangle around the part to help minimize vibration.

  • Page 24: Faceplate

    Faceplate The faceplate is used for holding work that cannot be swung between centers because of its shape and dimensions. The T- slots and other openings on its surface provide convenient locations for anchor bolts and clamps to secure the piece part. The faceplate can be mounted to the spindle after removing the chuck.
