Follow Rest
The traveling follow rest (F, Fig. 12) is
mounted on the saddle and follows the
movement of the turning tool. Only two fingers
are required as the place of the third is taken
by the turning tool. The follow rest is used for
tuning 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.
