Re: Atlas 10" Lathe Steady Rest Question
开云体育Right.? The steady rest (at least in the smaller sizes) has three adjustable jaws @ 120 degrees.? The follow (or follower) rest has two jaws @ 90 degrees, one at TDC and one 90 degrees to that one on the back side of the work piece, opposite the cutter.? But it does, as you say, move with the cutter. ? The two steady rests illustrate the two common ways of making a steady rest. ? Robert Downs ?

Re: Atlas 10" Lathe Steady Rest Question
开云体育Am I wrong in saying the larger closed item is a steady rest while the open one is a follower rest. The follower rest moves in combination with and stays close to the cutting tool as it moves along the workpiece.

Re: Craftsman Commercial Morse Taper Spindle Finish
Ken? This compound that was mentioned is used for laping engine valves i have some out on the shop it has 2 diverant grits in the can. The idea is not good the compound will not remove big nicks. I would just use a tool post grinder and be done with it GP
