Steady Rest

The steady rest serves as a support for long

shafts (length to diameter ratio of 3:1 or greater).

The steady rest can be placed anywhere along

the length of the workpiece.

To install/use the steady rest:

1. P

lace the steady rest on the lathe bedways

so th

e triangular notch fits over the angled

rtion of the rear bedway.

2. Loosen the three set screws so the finger

positions

can be adjusted (see Figure 41).

4. Position the steady rest where desired.

Tighten the bolt at the base

of the steady rest

to secure it in place.

5. Close

the steady rest so that the workpiece is

inside the fingers and tighten the knob.

6. Set fingers snug to

the workpiece and

secure by tightening the three socket head

cap screws. Fingers should be snug and

allow rotational movement of the workpiece.

Lubricate the finger tips with an anti-seize

grease during operation.

7. After prolonged use, the fingers will show

wear.

Either mill or file the tips for a new con-

tact

surface.

3. Loosen the knurled screw and open the

steady

rest so a workpiece can fit inside of

the fingers (see Figure 42).
