Follow Rest; Cross Slide - Grizzly G9972Z Owner's Manual

4.
Loosen the finger lock nuts, turn the adjust-
ment knobs to fit the fingers snug to the
workpiece, then re-tighten the lock nuts.
Note: The fingers should be snug enough to
fully support the workpiece at all three points
and also allow free rotational movement of
the workpiece.
5. Lubricate the finger tips with an anti-seize
grease during operation.
Note: After prolonged use, the fingers will
require milling or filing to clean up the contact
surface.

follow Rest

the follow rest shown in figure 31 is mounted on
the front of the saddle and follows the movement
of the tool. the follow rest is used on long, slender
parts to prevent flexing of the workpiece from the
pressure of the cutting tool. this rest requires only
two fingers as the cutting tool acts as the third.
figure 31. Follow rest attachment.
the follow rest can be attached/removed from
the carriage by two cap screws located at the
base of the follow rest. the sliding fingers are set
similar to those of the steady rest—free of play
but not binding. always lubricate the tips with an
anti-sieze grease before and during operation.
remove the follow rest from the saddle when not
in use. after prolonged use, the fingers will require
milling or filing to clean up the contact surface.

Note: The cross slide graduated dial is a 2:1 dial.
The amount removed from the workpiece will be
twice the actual distance the cross slide moves.
For example, if you wanted to remove 0.20" from
the diameter of a workpiece, you would move the
cross slide only 0.10".
