Position the steady rest on the lathe bed

where desired and secure it in place by

tightening the nut.

Figure-11 Installing steady rest

Tighten the knurled screws so that the

fingers are snug but not tight against the

work-piece and the work-piece can rotate

easily.

Tighten three hex nuts shown in and

lubricate the sliding points with machine oil.

CROSS SLIDE

The cross slide allows the cutting tool to

travel perpendicular to the bed and features

a scale and a hand wheel having

graduations of 0.001".

TO ADJUST THE CROSS SLIDE:

Move the cross slide back and forth a few

turns using the hand wheel and then move

it to your starting point. This will clear any

free movements in the leadscrew

increasing accuracy on cross slide scale.

Hold the hand wheel with one hand and

turn the scale so that the "0" mark on the

scale lines up with the "0.000" mark on the

cross slide. See figure-12.

Figure-12 Adjusting the cross slide

When making the next cut, make sure to

clear the backlash before moving the cross

slide forward to the "0" mark.

IMPORTANT

The sliding fingers of the steady rest

should receive periodic lubrication when

used, to prevent premature wear. The

fingers tips will show wear after

sometimes and will need to be milled or

filed for new contact surface.
