Follow Rest
The traveling follow rest (F, Fig. 9) 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 turning
operations on long, slender workpieces. It prevents 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 adequately with
lead based grease during operation.
