Atlas 10" Lathe Steady Rest Question
|
Hi,
? ?I have a 10 Atlas QC42 that came with a 10-326 steady rest and I recently aquired a 10-326B steady rest with some other parts I bought.? I did not realize Atlas made 2 options.? I only plan to keep one of them and the 10-326 B seems to be more robust and I believe would make removing and installing parts easier.? Aside from these differences, are there any advantages of one over the other?? (I have attached pics of each) I appreciate your input, Thanks, Larry |

The steady rest in the first Pic. is much better when you remove the work piece. I personally prefer the one in the first pic. it has a closed support GP

开云体育I agree.? Besides being probably a little stiffer, the “B” version does not require disturbing your top jaw setting in order to remove or install the part that is being supported. ? Robert Downs ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Guenther Paul

Unit A you flip the top back, it will not change the top setting GP

开云体育GP, ? No, I was agreeing with you.? Go back and read the part numbers.? The OP showed the later “B” version in his first photograph and the earlier or original version second.? The later version has a “B” suffix to the part number of the base or bottom casting. ?Which Larry naturally took to be the model number.? So when I said the “B” version was the better of the two, I meant the “B” suffix version, not the second photograph.? Or in other words, I agreed with you. ? Actually (and I should have remembered this in the first place, as many times as I have explained it to someone), the model number of the later 10” steady rest is 10-325-A.? 10-326B is the casting part number and the finish machined part number of the lower part of the steady rest body (the part that the number is cast into).? The only thing AFAIK that Atlas ever put an actual model number on was a nameplate. ? Anyway, keep the one in the left hand photo. ? Robert Downs ?

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. I think this is correct?-Dave On Jan 20, 2019, at 4:31 PM, Robert Downs via Groups.Io <wa5cab@...> wrote:

those are both steady rest's , they both clamp to the bed/ways

of the lathe & stay in the same place until you unbolt them & move them . a follower rest would mount on the saddle & move up & down the length of the bed along with the saddle keeping support pretty much with the tool bit ??? ??? animal On 1/20/2019 3:56 PM, c.plucker Plucker wrote: Am I wrong in saying the larger closed item is a steady rest while the |
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 ?
