Steady Rest
4. Loosen clamp knob that secures the two
halves of steady rest and open top portion,
as shown in
Figure 55.
5. Loosen jam nuts and set screws so finger
roller positions can be adjusted.
6. Use finger adjustment knobs to position bot-
tom two finger rollers against workpiece.
7. Close steady rest, then use finger adjustment
knobs to adjust all three finger rollers so that
they just touch the workpiece without causing
deflection.
Note: The finger rollers should properly sup-
port the workpiece along the spindle center-
line while still allowing it to freely rotate.
8. Lock fingers with set screws and jam nuts,
then tighten clamp knob.
Note: To reduce the effects of friction, lubri-
cate the finger rollers with way oil before
operation.
Figure 55. Workpiece mounted in the steady
rest.
To install and use steady rest:
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces, then
place steady rest base on bedways so trian-
gular notch fits over bedway prism.
3. Position steady rest with base clamp where
required to properly support workpiece, then
tighten hex nut shown in
Figure 54 to secure
it in place.
