Open the sliding fingers by loosening the
knurled screws far enough to fit around the
workpiece. Secure the steady rest in posi-
tion.

Tighten the knurled screws so that the fin-
gers are snug but not tight against the
workpiece. Tighten the lock nuts.

Lubricate the sliding points with machine
oil.
The

is setup in the same manner
except that the place of the third finger is taken up
by the tool bit. The follow rest prevents long,
small diameter pieces from flexing under the cut-
ting pressure from the tool bit.
