Hey Guys,
Is there a trick to getting a steady-rest set up?
I have heard that one way is, after clamping part in the three-jaw chuck, slide the steady-rest close to chuck, and make adjustments until the steady-rest arms touch the part. Then, move steady-rest down to where you want the support.
How doyou folks indicate the newly supported end (away from chuck) in some way, to confirm it's as level and centered front-to-back as possible?
Or, is there another way of doing this.
I saw that some one had made this simple double gage for truing up a bar.
