Description: |
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to provide a steady-rest of such construction as will permit any number of tools being employed upon the work as may be found desirable, the rests being entirely independent of the tools or tool-carriages and of the guides, or ways upon which the tool-carriages are mounted and work.
Claim:
In combination with the bed of a lathe, a tail-stock; a head -stock; a tool-carriage mounted on the bed and freely movable the length thereof; a supporting member carried by the bed and independent of the tool-carriage ways and a plurality of steady-rests mounted upon and adjustable lengthwise of said member, said rests being at all times out of the path of travel of the tool-carriage and the tool carried thereby, whereby the tool may be traversed the full extent of the lathe without interference with the rests which still remain in supporting contact with the work. |
