rest accessories
The Follow Rest (not supplied) is mainly used for cutting long and thin shaft pieces to en-
sure no bending takes place during cutting. It also provides a better finish surface as a
result of less vibration. The Steady Rest (not supplied) provides a similar function as with
the Follow Rest. The difference being that the Steady Rest is fixed on the bed guides, and
does not follow the movement of the cutting tool. Both rests can be purchased from Harbor
Freight Tools.
